Its variable presentation is due to tumor conditions such as size or capsular infiltration. Electrical injuries, involuntary or necessary removal of the parathyroid glands can reveal specific symptoms, such as paresthesias, cramps or semiologic signs, including heart problems as a result of hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism. Our goal is to define the patient early with alterations in calcium metabolism, through the study of calcium and parathormone in blood whose post-surgical serials will give a prognostic result of the patient’s calcium metabolism. With this trial we tried to avoid hypocalcemia and to rationalize the calcium dose in patients undergoing radical thyroidectomy with control of the levels of paratohormone, calcium and ionic calcium, within the normal range at 60 days of the intervention are candidates to not receive support from Indefinite calcium. Methodology: Descriptive, observational, prospective study. The study area will include all patients within the skin, thyroid, soft tissue department of the SOLCA – Guayaquil hospital; Undergoing radical thyroidectomy between November 2014 and November 2016. Results: Paratohormone values ??at 60 postoperative days can be used as a reliable indicator to eliminate exogenous calcium mediation. Conclusion: The serial study of calcium and parathormone levels in the immediate and late postoperative period allows us to know the calcium metabolism and to establish who will require exogenous calcium medication indefinitely and who will not. Follow-up is recommended 6 months after surgery to obtain a smaller margin of error   References:
