Hypothyroidism is one of the focuses of attention in the field of thyroid surgery, but postoperative hypoparathyroidism has always been an unavoidable complication for surgeons. Currently, there is still controversy over the definition and classification of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, and there are significant differences in the definition and incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism among different studies. The author provides preliminary suggestions and ideas for the diagnosis and definition of hypoparathyroidism based on relevant guidelines, literature, and clinical experience, in order to provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment plans for postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
