Official Title: Parathyroid Autofluorescence Visualization During Thyroid Surgery: Impact on Postoperative Hypocalcemia
Brief Summary:
This Before-and-after Controlled Study study evaluates the clinical impact of parathyroid autofluorescence visualization using near infrared light (NIR) during total thyroidectomy (TT).
It compares two groups of consecutive patients who underwent TT associated or not to lymph node dissection (LND) with and without intraoperative use of NIR, by the same surgeon.
