Summary

Hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy is usually transient but it is of main concern as it requires either prolonged stay in the hospital or readmission. During the first 24 hours bleeding is the main complication, but from the second day to six months, transient hypocalcemia is of main concern. Hypocalcemia can be evaluated symptomatically as well as from laboratory testing. Signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia include numbness, tingling, and carpopedal spasm. Preoperative vitamin D prevents postoperative transient hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy .
