Post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia exacerbated by chyle leak
UNLABELLED Transient hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy is not uncommon and the risk increases with the extent of neck surgery. We report a case of severe and prolonged hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy complicated by thoracic duct injury. Hypoparathyroidism and thoracic duct injury are potential complications following total thyroidectomy with extensive lymph node dissection. This case sugg...
متن کاملWhich therapy to prevent post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia?
Hypocalcemia is one of the most frequent complications after total extracapsular thyroidectomy (TET). In most of cases it is a transient phenomenon. The aim of this study is to evaluate if and how the oral administration of calcium or calcium combined with D-vitamin could effectively prevent post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. A randomized prospective study was performed, recruiting 120 patients w...
متن کاملRisk factors for post-thyroidectomy haematoma.
BACKGROUND There has been increasing emphasis on performing 'same-day' or 'out-patient' thyroidectomy to reduce associated costs. However, acceptance has been limited by the risk of potentially life-threatening post-operative bleeding. This study aimed to review current rates of post-operative bleeding in a metropolitan teaching hospital and identify risk factors. METHOD Medical records of pa...
متن کامل[Parathyroid hormone as a predictor of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The risk of developing hypocalcemia is the reason for prolonged hospitalisation after total thyroidectomy. The objective of this study was to validate parathyroid hormone measurement for predicting post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-two patients who underwent total or completion thyroidectomy from February 2009 to March 2010 were enrolled i...
متن کاملReliable Early Prediction for Different Types of Post-Thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia
OBJECTIVES High incidence of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy is a major determinant in delay of discharge. Even though many studies have focused on the search for reliable early predictors of postoperative hypocalcemia, definitions of hypocalcemia are diverse; therefore, interpretation and application of previously reported findings may not be easy. We aimed to elucidate diverse patterns of po...
