What happens during the disease - postprocedural hypoparathyroidism
Postprocedural hypoparathyroidism is a condition caused by the inadvertent removal of the parathyroid glands during a surgical procedure. this can lead to a decrease in the production of parathyroid hormone, resulting in a decrease in calcium levels and an increase in phosphorus levels. this can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including muscle cramps, fatigue, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, and seizures. treatment typically involves calcium and vitamin d supplementation to replace lost calcium, as well as medications to help control symptoms.
Postprocedural hypoparathyroidism - Prevention
Postprocedural hypoparathyroidism can be prevented by taking steps to minimize the risk of injury to the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery, including using intraoperative monitoring and neuromonitoring techniques, using careful dissection techniques, and avoiding unnecessary manipulation of the parathyroid glands.
