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

Objectives/Hypothesis To estimate the impact of optical techniques on prevention of post‐
operative hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Study Design …

Importance Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery thyroidectomy is a novel
approach to avoid surgical scars. Objective To compare the safety and outcomes of the …

Background Parathyroid glands are difficult to identify during total thyroidectomies, and
accidental resection can lead to problematic postoperative hypocalcemia. Our main goals …

Recent technology developments have expanded the wavelength window for biological
fluorescence imaging into the shortwave infrared. We show here a mechanistic …

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most common form of thyroid cancer. A
conventional open thyroidectomy is the standard surgical procedure since 1906, developed …

Purpose Surgical fluorescence guidance has gained popularity in various settings, eg,
minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. In pursuit of novel receptor-targeted …

Background Studies to date have shown that near-infrared autofluorescence imaging (NIR)
can detect the parathyroid gland during thyroidectomy. However, there are no reports that …

Recently, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been applied in
thyroid surgery with transoral access. The benefit of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy is …

The parathyroid glands are situated in close proximity to the thyroid gland. They have an
important endocrine function maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body …
