Conclusions
From the data obtained from our work, we found an association of TtHP with the age at which the patients underwent surgery and the size of the tumor, while the size of the tumor and the lymph node dissection are associated with the development of PtHP. Moreover, no patients who have undergone HT presented with TtHP or PtHP. This might suggest that children, operated for thyroid cancer, should be treated with the least invasive surgical approach possible, in order to reduce the risk of development of hypoparathyroidism.
