The most common indication for thyroid surgery was a nodule (71.9\u202f%), followed by Graves\u2019 disease (10.5\u202f%), multinodular goiter (8.7\u202f%), and familial multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (8.7\u202f%). Of the 57 patients, 36 (63.2\u202f%) were diagnosed with thyroid neoplasia, with 28 (77.8\u202f%) having papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), three (8.3\u202f%) having medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), two (5.6\u202f%) having follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). Temporary unilateral vocal cord paralysis and permanent unilateral vocal cord paralysis were seen in three patients (5.3\u202f%) and in two patients (3.5\u202f%) respectively. Persistent hypocalcemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism were noted in two patients (3.5\u202f%), while transient hypocalcemia was observed in 13 patients (22.8\u202f%). The presence of neoplasm did not appear to be associated with the incidence of hypocalcemia or vocal cord paralysis (p=0.115 and 0.652, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpem-2024-0464_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Thyroid pathologies in pediatric patients necessitate a multidisciplinary approach.
