Increasing incidence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is due to accurate histological study of surgical specimens (incidental, INC) or to improved preoperative diagnostic techniques (preoperatively diagnosed, PD). We evaluate the differences between both groups of PTMC from 2000 to 2009.We reviewed data of patients diagnosed of PTMC (<10 mm) during the last decade with complete follow-up since surgery. Demographic data, tumour size, histolo...

Introduction: Intraoperative parathyroid hormone assay (ioPTH) has been validated as a useful tool for predicting postoperative hypocalcaemia (hypoCa) after thyroid surgery and has been proposed as a guide to early discharge from hospital. Its value to predict the risk of future hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) has not been analyzed in detail. We evaluate this role in our recent surgical series.Description of methods/design: Patients with total thyroidectomy ...
