Sponsored by University of Roma La Sapienza · Observational
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of normal parathyroid tissue reimplantation in forearm subcutaneous tissue in case of accidental removal of parathyroid gland during thyroid surgery.
66 studies on the registry are indexed under Goiter; 11 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 104 across 23 observational studies indexed under Goiter.

All patients receiving thyroid surgery with accidental removal or devascularization of normal parathyroid gland
Inclusion Criteria:
Procedure: Thyroidectomy and parathyroid reimplantation in forearm subcutaneous tissue
Assessment of parathyroid tissue graft function by selective (left or right) parathormone measurement by vein blood sample
The primary outcome will be the assessment of reimplanted parathyroid function, evaluated by intact Parathormone (iPTH) measurement by separate blood samples (left and right arm) at 7 days, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Ratio of 1.5 between the iPTH levels in the arm receiving graft and the opposite arm will be predictive of graft functionality
Time frame: up to 3 months
