Hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy (TT) is a common complication that is sometimes difficult to correct. This study aims to determine the frequency of hypocalcemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism (PtHPT) following TT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 363 patient records were reviewed who underwent TT for any reason. Thirty-eight patients did not have a follow-up in the clinic in the postoperative period and were excluded from the final analysis with the final sample as 325. For patients who developed hypocalcemia during the postoperative hospital stay, their lowest calcium levels were recorded and medical records were reviewed for the period of one year for the requirement of oral calcium and active form of vitamin D (calcitriol or alpha calcidiol) in the outpatient setting. Patients who required calcium and vitamin D supplementation for up to 1\u00a0year were labeled as having PtHPT. Risk factors were analyzed among those who developed PtHPT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From a total of 325 patients postoperative hypocalcemia developed in 163 (50.2%) patients, and 162 (49.8%) patients remained normocalcemic. Permanent hypoparathyroidism was found in 42(12.9%) patients and transient HPT in 121 (37.2%). Age, severe postoperative hypocalcemia (PoHC), and readmission for hypocalcemia were independent risk factors for PtHPT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transient hypoparathyroidism (THPT) is common in our setup.
