Background Thyroid surgery volume continues to increase worldwide over the past few decades. During a total thyroidectomy (TTx), the ultimate goal is to remove all thyroid tissue, whereas damage to adjacent tissue is prevented. However, iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism, as a result of surgical removal

The most common cause of chronic Hypoparathyroidism is the
Background Bipolar sealing and cutting devices such as EnSeal® G2 Tissue Sealer are surgical instruments that use electrical powered diathermic energy to seal and transect tissue. These devices have shown high efficiency in a wide variety of open and laparoscopic general and gynecological surgical
