Background: The importance of parathyroid gland preservation in thyroid surgery has been well recognized; however, the rapid identification of the parathyroid gland, particularly the inferior parathyroid gland (IPG), remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of retrograde inferior parathyroid protection technique (RIPPT) based on thymus preservation.
Methods: A total of 236 patients were enrolled in this study between August 2019 and December 2020.

Childhood cancer survival rates have improved, but survivors face an increased risk of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), particularly thyroid cancer. This study examines the demographic, clinical, genetic, and treatment characteristics of childhood cancer survivors who developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy, emphasizing the importance of long-term surveillance. A retrospective review was conducted for childhood cancer survivors treated between 1990 and 2018 who later developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy.

Purpose: Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (POSH) is a common complication after total thyroidectomy. This study aims to assess the accuracy of serum and ionized calcium and PTH levels on the first postoperative day (POD-1) to predict postoperative hypocalcemia (PoHC), transient hypoparathyroidism (THPT), and permanent hypoparathyroidism (PtHPT).
Methods: Biochemical parameters and clinical variables were retrospectively analyzed in 200 patients.
