achieve vessel sealing and hemostasis. However, the risk of parathyroid glands damage has not been fully elucidated. This
prospective study was designed to evaluate the severity of hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy by using two different sealing
devices.

A 14-year-old female presented with intermittent abdominal pain, deepening of voice and amenorrhoea for 4 months. Twelve months earlier she had had a thyroidectomy because of familial multinodular goiter and had, subsequently, received substitution with L-thyroxine. At the time of admission, a high serum testosterone level was detected. The dexamethasone suppression test confirmed the hormonal autonomy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualized a solid tumor within the left ovary. The pathological diagnosis after left salpingo-oophorectomy was Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor.
