Intraoperative Monitoring to Predict Postoperative Complications After Thyroidectomy

Intraoperative Monitoring (Parathormone Values and Continuous Neuromonitoring) to Predict Postoperative Complications After Total Thyroidectomy

The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of intraoperative continous and intermittent neuromonitoring and intraoperative parathormone (PTH) to predict postoperative nerve morbidity and hypocalcemia.

Intraoperative PTH values and intraoperative continuous neuromonitoring will be collected prospectively in consecutive patients who undergo total thyroidectomy.

Postoperative parathyroid morbidity and recurrent laryngeal nerve morbidity will be evaluated within 1 week after total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively.

Other postoperative morbidity will be evaluated at 1 year postoperatively using validated classification.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients scheduled for total thyroidectomy in university of Nancy (University Hospital)

Exclusion Criteria:

• refusal to participate
