[Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Fluorescence to Assure Vital Parathyroids in Thyroid Resections].

Introduction: Total thyreoidectomy is associated with high rates of temporary or permanent hypoparathyroidism. During surgery, ICG fluorescence angiography can be used to detect and preserve well vascularised parathyroid glands; this technique has been recently introduced in retrospective and prospective trials as an intraoperative technical support to avoid postoperative hypoparathyroidism.

Materials Und Methods: 27 patients undergoing total thyreoidectomy were prospectively enrolled in our study.

Indocyanine Green Tissue Angiography Can Reduce Extended Bowel Resections in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia.

Purpose: Surgical exploration and bowel resection are frequently required for treating non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Intraoperative evaluation of intestinal perfusion is subjective and challenging. In this feasibility study, ICG fluorescence angiography was performed in order to evaluate intestinal perfusion in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.
