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.
