The Effect of the Number of Central Lymph Nodes on Changes in Parathyroid Function

This study collected data from patients who underwent thyroidectomy in the Breast and Thyroid Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 by reviewing medical records. The main calculation indicator was the changes in PTH before and after surgery. This study grouped patients based on the number of central lymph nodes under postoperative paraffin pathology, and statistically analyzed the changes and differences in PTH before and after surgery in different groups to verify the relationship between the number of central lymph nodes in the thyroid gland and parathyroid function, and to provide reference for surgical selection in thyroid cancer patients with multiple cervical lymph node metastases.
