This review summarizes the results of studies concerning the problem of post-surgical hypoparathyroidism, a common complication of thyroid gland surgery, decreasing the quality of life in patients and, in some cases, leading to disability. A search for publications was carried out in electronic databases Web of Science, Scopus, Academic Search Complete (EBSCO), eLIBRARY, using keywords. The search depth was 7-10 years. Prevalence of post-surgical hypoparathyroidism was evaluated, the pathogenetic causes of the disease development, its clinical forms, methods of diagnosis and treatment were studied. It has been found that there is no single algorithm for analyzing the prognostic factors for the development of this pathological condition. It is emphasized that drug therapy of post-surgical hypoparathyroidism has a number of adverse effects. Therefore, the issues of prevention and surgical correction are of particular relevance. However, controversial opinions of contemporary authors about their clinical effectiveness determine the scientific and practical significance of further research on these issues.
