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 …

Importance Identification and preservation of parathyroid glands (PGs) remain challenging
despite advances in surgical techniques. Considerable morbidity and even mortality result …

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

Fluorescence imaging is a well-known method for both the in vivo and in vitro identification
of specific cells or tissues. This imaging tool is gaining importance in the intraoperative …

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 …

New optical technologies enhancing localization or assessing viability of parathyroid glands
(PG) during endocrine surgery have been reported in clinical studies. These technologies …

Contrast-free autofluorescence (AF) of the parathyroid glands (PTGs) and thyroid tissue
occurs in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum on excitation by light in the upper range of the …

Background and objectives Accurate identification and evaluation of the parathyroid glands
(PGs) intraoperatively is critical to reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism …

Simple Summary The most frequent post-operative complication in thyroid surgery is
hypoparathyroidism leading to temporary or definitive low blood calcium levels. This …
