這裏有一篇2011年的統計研究(樣本287例):

RESULTS:

During the study period, 287 thyroidectomies were performed and 47 (16.4%) patients had incidentally removed parathyroid glands. Risk factors for inadvertent parathyroid resection included total thyroidectomy (P=.0001), Hashimoto thyroiditis (P=.004), and extrathyroidal spread (P=.0003). Postoperative hypocalcemia occurred in 18 (38.3%) of the patients in whom the parathyroid gland was removed inadvertently and in 48 (20%) of the rest of the patients (P=.0123).

CONCLUSION:

The incidence of incidental removal of parathyroid tissue during thyroidectomy is 16.4%. Total thyroidectomy, extrathyroidal extension of the tumor, and thyroiditis were found to be the risk factors. Hypocalcemia was significantly higher among patients who had inadvertent parathyroidectomy.
