TL;DR: Neuromonitoring helps to identify the nerve, in particular in difficult cases, but it did not decrease nerve injuries compared with visualization alone, and visual nerve identification remains the gold standard of recurrent laryngeal nerve management in thyroid surgery.

TL;DR: Comparison of scintigraphic data with morphological and functional data strongly suggests that 99mTc-MIBI scans do not reveal simple parathyroid enlargement but rather, identify the presence of hyperfunctioning (autonomous)Parathyroid tissue suggestive of tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

TL;DR: Total thyroidectomy appears to be an adequate treatment for clinically node-negative papillary thyroid cancer and prophylactic central neck dissection should be considered for the more appropriate selection of patients for radioiodine treatment and should be reserved for high-risk patients only.

TL;DR: 99mTc-sestambi SPECT/CT is believed to be a more reliable presurgical method to study a patient subgroup affected by PHP or SHP in whom conventional US and other scintigraphic methods have failed for intrinsic reasons due to the concomitant presence of multinodular goitre or ectopic parathyroid gland.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and timing of postoperative bleeding and to identify the potential aetiological factors of cervical hematomas complicating thyroid surgery.
