Impact of parathyroid gland classification on hypoparathyroidism following total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for differentiated thyroid cancer
PG classification may serve as a valuable tool for surgeons in intraoperative parathyroid preservation and the prediction of postoperative hypoparathyroidism in patients with DTC. Notably, DTC patients with more than two tightly connected PGs are at an elevated risk of developing temporary hypoparathyroidism, emphasizing the importance of meticulous parathyroid preservation during surgical procedures.
