Predictors of hypocalcaemia and hypoparathyroidism in patients undergoing thyroidectomy for benign and malignant pathologies.

Objective: To analyse the risk factors of hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy.

Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at a tertiary care hospital in southern part of India were collected retrospectively from January 2021 to May 2023. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyse the risk factors associated with transient hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcaemia separately.

A matched pair analysis of outcomes after stapler-assisted pharyngeal closure following laryngectomy.

Objective: To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes between stapler and manual closure in patients undergoing total laryngectomy for advanced endolaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods: Patients with advanced endolaryngeal tumours operated between July 2017 and July 2023 were retrospectively dichotomised into stapler closure and manual closure cohorts and compared.

Results: Seventy-one patients with a median age of 57 years were included in our study.

Myoepithelial Tumors of Salivary Gland: A Clinicopathologic and Immunohistochemical Study of 15 Patients with MIB-1 Correlation.

Myoepithelial neoplasms are rare tumors of the salivary glands with predominant myoepithelial differentiation and a broad histologic spectrum. Their histological features, immunohistochemical profile and biological behavior are not well characterized and pose a diagnostic challenge. A total of 15 myoepithelial tumors, diagnosed during 2012 and 2019 were subcategorized and correlated with MIB-1 labeling index (LI) and various histological parameters.
