Sažetak

Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates calcium level in peripheral circulation by controlling calcium relocation and calcium excretion. Hypoparathyroidism is one of the potential complications that can occur during thyroid surgery. Hypocalcemia, as a result of hypoparathyroidism, can cause severe symptoms, even lifethreatening, when not treated properly.
In this paper, we would like to focus on how to preserve the function of the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery and prevent transient and permanent hypoparathyroidism by opting to perform parathyroid autotransplantation. To structure our suggestion, we divided the article into why, when, and how to do the parathyroid autotransplantation?
