Abstract
Thyroid surgery can be performed safely in a surgical residency training program under direct supervision of an experienced surgeon with little morbidity to the patients. Hypocalcemia is the most significant complication. Neck and paratracheal lymph node dissections were the most significant predictors of hypocalcemia in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy.
