title: [Calcium metabolism after thyroidectomy with modified radical neck dissection and parathyroid gland autotransplantation].
abstract: The issue of parathyroid autotransplantation in oncologic thyroid surgery is discussed controversially. In a series of 15 patients who underwent bilateral modified radical neck dissection for thyroid malignancy, parathyroid autotransplantation was carried out. Six months after surgery only one patient was hypoparathyroid, requiring permanent medication, thus autotransplantation is a safe procedure for the prevention of accidental hypoparathyroidism.
