Background/Aim: Recently, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has been used
for the identification of the parathyroid glands (PG) during thyroid and parathyroid surgery …

Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate
thyroidectomy. Background: Surgical management of thyroid disease has evolved …

Background: Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is the most common complication following
bilateral thyroid operations. Thyroid surgeons must employ strategies for minimizing and …

Importance Because inadvertent damage of parathyroid glands can lead to postoperative
hypocalcemia, their identification and preservation, which can be challenging, are pivotal …

Background Hypoparathyroidism, the most common complication after thyroid surgery, leads
to hypocalcaemia and significant medical problems. An RCT was undertaken to determine …

Background Finding and preserving normal parathyroid glands or localizing and removing
diseased parathyroid glands are crucial steps to successful thyroid and parathyroid …

Background The clinical impact of intraoperative autofluorescence-based identification of
parathyroids using a near-infrared camera remains unknown. Methods In a before and after …

Abstract Background Parathyroid glands (PGs) exhibit autofluorescence (AF) when excited
by near-infrared laser. This multicenter study aims to analyze how this imaging could …

Objective: With the recent approval of 2 NIRAF-based devices for label-free identification of
PG by the Food and Drug Administration, it becomes crucial to educate the surgical …

Objective To identify parathyroid glands intraoperatively by exposing their autofluorescence
using near-infrared light. Methods Fluorescence imaging was carried out during minimally …
