A high incidence of hypercalcemia was found in children after subtotal thyroidectomy for thyrotoxicosis in 17 patients. The most common cause of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia was not glandular extirpation but, seemingly, infarction due to devascularization. This complication has been eliminated by a change in the operation technique.
17例因甲状腺毒症接受甲状腺次全切除术的儿童中,高钙血症的发生率较高。甲状腺切除术后低钙血症最常见的原因并非腺体切除,而是看似因血运障碍导致的梗死。通过改变手术技术,这种并发症已得以消除。
