Predicting risk factors of postoperative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy: is safe discharge without supplementation possible? A large cohort study.

Purpose: With increasing economic pressures to shorten the length of hospital stay, there has been much recent interest in studying risk factors for the development of postoperative hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum calcium and/or PTH levels can predict post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism.

Methods: From January to December 2014, 477 consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy were included.

French validation of the FACE-Q Rhinoplasty module.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to translate the FACE-Q "Rhinoplasty" module into French and validate its use for the French-speaking population.

Design: "Satisfaction with the nose" and "Satisfaction with nostrils" questionnaires were used and translated.

Settings: We were granted permission to use the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module by the development team.
