    Hoarseness of voice due to nerve damage, and hypoparathyroid problem due to removal of para thyroid glands, and hypothyroid problem due to removal of some of the thyroid gland. Hoarseness could reverse back to normal after 2-3 months,& the underfunctioning of the glands could be treated with replacement medications and calcium suppliments.
