Hypoparathyroidism might be due to collateral thermal injury induced by harmonic scalpel (HS) after total thyroidectomy (TT) with central neck dissection (CND). The current study aimed to evaluate whether a clamp and tie (CAT) technique used to preserve parathyroid glands in situ could reduce damage to parathyroid function in HS patients undergoing TT plus unilateral or bilateral CND.
