Background: Recently, several devices exploiting the near-infrared autofluorescence (NIR-AF) of parathyroid glands (PGs) have been developed. Nevertheless, their impact on both preserving PGs from inadvertent surgical dissection and on post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (hypoPTH) is controversial.
Methods: A retrospective study of 845 patients undergoing thyroid surgery in 2 academic tertiary centres was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- * Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence video-angiography is an effective method for assessing the blood flow and perfusion of these flaps, enhancing surgical safety.
- * The study utilized a high-resolution ICG video-angiography device to compare perfusion in two common flaps, showing its potential to enable earlier and safer pedicle division.
