About

Hypocalcemia is the most frequent complication in thyroid surgeries. Diagnosing this complication earlier will reduce longer hospital stay and will lead to an earlier intervention. The purpose of the study is to evaluate postoperative second hour parathyroid hormone measurement as a predictor for early stage hypocalcemia.
