Reply to "Thyroid Issue!"

The parathyroids are not removed (at least not intentionally), even with a total thyroidectomy. They are separate glands. But, they can be traumatized during the dissection, so that is why they need to monitor your calcium levels (important for nerve conduction, muscle function and heart function).
