Summery and Key messages Summery and Key messages Treaetment of Acute /Severe hypocalcemia is an Emergency. Postsurgical HypoPT is the most common form of HypoPT. Training dedicated thyroid surgeons is of utmost importance. Careful selection of Pt and the Best surgical level. Preoperative provisions are important. Intra/Postoperative PTH,Ca,P levels are valuable predictive factors. Meticulous attention to morbidities of HypoPT. Close attention to the complications of Treatment All medical activities should be Patient Oriented 2/19/2025 32
