In 1037 patients undergoing total (827 cases) or partial thyroidectomy (52 cases of subtotal thyroidectomy, 108 of hemithyroidectomy, 50 of enucleation and resection) for each study group the incidence of hypoparathyroidism, its possible causes and technical factors favouring the onset, were examined. In this series postoperative prevalence of hypoparathyroidism was 16.6%. It seems to be directly proportional to the extent of surgery thus confirming the necessity to locate and preserve the parathyroid glands during surgery. This should be as conservative as possible according to the prognosis of the thyroid disease.
