[HSF] hypothyroidism

[Prasanna Simha M]

It is advisable to wait till the TSH comes down to the reference normal
range. It is well documented that hypothyroidism can cause refractory low
output post op and a host of endocrinological problems. We always see to it
that they are normalized.They can stay in hospital during this period if
required under  monitoring
