THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING THE PARATHYROID GLANDS DURING THE THYROIDECTOMY PROCEDURE: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Among the head and neck surgeries, one of the routine procedures is the total thyroidectomy, the surgery however has a risk of transient or permanent hypoparathyroidism, being a challenge in the clinical-surgical practice. A bibliographic review was carried out with fifteen articles published from 2010 to 2020. It is understood that the in situ preservation of the parathyroid glands is still the safest, most feasible and economical method to prevent post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism, even alternatives such as self and allotransplantations can be effective, requiring further studies for a better understanding.
