The predominant genetic mutation belonged to codon 634 (8\/14, 57.14%). Total thyroidectomy (TT) without cervical lymphadenectomy was performed in all patients. A right upper parathyroidectomy was performed in one patient due to intraoperative suspicion of increased volume. Histological study revealed no alterations. Two patients presented transient hypocalcemia postoperatively and no patient had permanent hypocalcemia or nerve damage. Pathological anatomy confirmed medullary thyroid microcarcinoma in 5\/14 patients: all carrying codon 634 mutation and three of them with preoperative basal calcitonin levels &lt;20 pg\/mL. No recurrences or metastases have been detected after a mean follow-up of 8 years. A patient with codon 634 mutation developed a unilateral pheochromocytoma at 25 years of age. No patient has presented hyperparathyroidism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpem-2019-0121_s_996_w2aab2b8c53b1b7b1aab1c15b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prophylactic thyroidectomy without cervical lymphadenectomy is an effective and safe preventive treatment in patients with MEN 2A syndrome when it is performed by experienced surgeons in reference centers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpem-2019-0121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]],"date-time":"2019-07-25T05:02:15Z","timestamp":1564030935000},"page":"889-893","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Prophylactic thyroidectomy in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A in children: a single centre experience"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Cristina","family":"Garc\u00e9s Visier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Avenida Men\u00e9ndez Pelayo 65, 28009 , Madrid , Spain , Phone: +34 915 03 59 00"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Espinoza Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Guill\u00e9n Redondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Ollero Fresno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henar","family":"Souto Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Luis Huertas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"Espinosa G\u00f3ngora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clara","family":"Rico Espi\u00f1eira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco Jos\u00e9","family":"Bautista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Oncology , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose Lorenzo","family":"Alonso Calder\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Surgery , Hospital Infantil Universitario Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas , Madrid , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082012174396629_j_jpem-2019-0121_ref_001_w2aab2b8c53b1b7b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yu GP, Li JC, Branovan D, McCormick S, Schantz SP.
