    Author: Villar HV, Wangensteen SL.
    Journal: Contemp Anesth Pract; 1980; 3():159-71. PubMed ID: 7011669.
    Abstract:
    Surgical procedures involving the parathyroid glands pose special problems. Careful attention to preoperative rehydration, control of hypercalcemia, and evaluation of renal function are mandatory. Intraoperative management is usually uncomplicated. Severe hypocalcemia may complicate the postoperative period, especially if severe bone disease is present.
