TL;DR: One single iPTH measurement reliably can predict, early after thyroidectomy, which patients are prone to clinically relevant postoperative hypocalcemia and necessitate supplementation treatment andWhich patients are eligible for a safe early discharge.

TL;DR: The results of this series show that TT can be performed safely in patients, with a low incidence of lifetime disabilities, and should therefore be considered a valuable option for treating benign thyroid diseases.

TL;DR: Routine supplementation therapy with OC or VD effectively prevents symptomatic hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and may allow for a safe early discharge and further studies are necessary to determine the best treatment.

TL;DR: Subnormal 4h-iPTH levels alone did not accurately predict clinically relevant postoperative hypocalcemia, and the optimal cut-off level and its integration with preoperative and postoperative serum calcium concentrations should be reconsidered.

TL;DR: Thyroid gland manipulation, surgical stress response, and postoperative outcome in cases of video‐assisted thyroidectomy (VAT) and conventional thyroidectomy were compared to verify the safety of VAT.
