“…The finding of a significant impact of hypomagnesemia on postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia should prompt further study to investigate if aggressive treatment of hypomagnesemia in patients with hypocalcemia may minimize this complication. There is one previously published study that investigated the impact of intravenous magnesium sulfate at the beginning of surgery on postoperative hypocalcemia, and found no difference in incidence of hypocalcemia between the groups . However, this was a small study, with magnesium administered at the time of surgery in a nonselective fashion, and so it is unlikely that this study could exclude a benefit for magnesium supplementation in the subset of patients developing hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia.…”

“…However, Xiaofei7 showed that postoperative hypomagnesemia was not a risk factor of hypocalcemia, and thus, that there is no need to monitor serum Mg levels regularly during perioperative period. Preoperative preventive Mg supplements could even raise the risk of postoperative hypocalcemia 12. Therefore, more research is essential to demonstrate the relationship between Mg and postoperative hypocalcemia, and more importantly, to reach a consensus on how to prevent postoperative hypocalcemia.…”

“…Therefore, a surgical resection is regarded as the best treatment for a metastatic tumour, especially, if isolated, the solitary thyroid metastasis was found. There is also still a doubt about the extent operation in thyroid surgery because of the complications after total thyroidectomy 20. If the metastasis is known preoperatively, lobectomy and isthmectomy are enough but when the diagnosis is doubtful or multifoci of metastasis are found, total tyhroidectomy is the choice of the surgical treatment.…”
