This study suggests that the risk of transient postoperative HPT is lower in patients that undergo completion thyroidectomy. Further independent risk factors for postoperative HPT are female sex and PGRIS score. In light of the growing use of conservative surgery for thyroid neoplasms, these findings could help to adequately plan surgery in order to reduce endocrine complications.
