Summary
This study aims to address the existing gap in knowledge by conducting a comprehensive comparison of the incidence of hypocalcemia in patients undergoing thyroidectomy using Ligasure versus conventional ligation of vessels by knot tying. Additionally, secondary outcomes such as operative time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications will be assessed to provide a holistic understanding of the two surgical approaches.
