Abstract

Introduction: Severe hypocalcemia is a rare but serious complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SH) surgery. Continuous intravenous calcium replacement is required and patients are not discharged. Cryopreserved parathyroid autotransplantation (CPA) is the most effective and lasting treatment option for severe hypocalcemia. However, a cryopreservation laboratory is necessary for this procedure.
