Clinical and laboratorial correlation of postoperative hypocalcemia after extensive thyroidectomy
The medical records of 84 patients submitted to extensive thyroidectomy from January 1991 to April 1995 were reviewed and the data was analyzed in order to verify a correlation between postoperative laboratories results and physical findings suggestive of hypocalcemia.
