  • Intraoperative complications

    • Signal loss during IONM
    • If this happens on the first side in a planned bilateral procedure, do not resect the contralateral side because otherwise this runs the risk of bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.
    • Bleeding
    • Manage massive intraoperative hemorrhage (e.g., from the Kocher vein or inferior thyroid artery) first by packing, then identify the bleeder under continuous suction, clamp and ligate it.
    • Missed parathyroids
    • When no altered parathyroid tissue is found or glands are missing: Terminate the procedure and perform detailed diagnostic work-up

  • Postoperative complications
