Article Synopsis
- Laryngeal cancer is a significant form of advanced head and neck cancer, often treated with invasive methods like total laryngectomy, which can lead to complications such as hypocalcemia, a condition of low calcium levels in the blood.
- This study analyzed 50 laryngectomy patients over eight years, focusing on demographic and medical data, to examine the prevalence and risk factors for post-operative hypocalcemia.
- Results indicated that factors like neck dissection, low pre-operative calcium levels, previous radiotherapy, and total thyroidectomy are significant predictors of hypocalcemia after surgery, highlighting the necessity for careful monitoring of calcium levels in affected patients.
