Objective: To explore a new identification and protection method of the parathyroid gland in reoperation for thyroid diseases.
Method: 54 patients receiving reoperation for thyroid diseases were selected. The experiment group intraoperatively adopted carbon nanoparticles suspension for negative development of the parathyroid gland, whereas the control group did not use carbon nanoparticles suspension.
Results: At 48 h after surgery, the parathyroid hormone level was lower than the normal state in 9 patients (33.30%) of the control group and 1 patient (3.70%) of the experiment group; meanwhile, 6 months after surgery, 8 patients of the control group (29.63%) and 1 patient of the experiment group (3.70%) showed a lower level than the normal state with statistical differences. The serum calcium level in 10 patients of the control group (37.04%) and 2 patients of the experiment group (7.41%) was lower than the normal state at 48 h after surgery, while a lower level than the normal state was also shown in 8 patients of the control group (29.63%) and 1 patient of the experiment group (3.70%) 6 months after surgery with statistically significant between the two groups. A total of 10 (37.04%) and 1 parathyroid gland (3.70%) were detected with a statistical difference in both groups.
Conclusion: By adopting carbon nanoparticles in reoperation for the thyroid diseases and negative development of the parathyroid gland for identification and protection of the parathyroid gland, the incidence of hypoparathyroidism is reduced effectively, thus improving the postoperative quality of life of the patients.

Results of F-choline and C-methionine positron emission tomography/computed tomography for the preoperative localization of hyperfunctional parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Department of Endocrine Surgery, Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz, Germany.
Background: Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism is essential for successful parathyroid surgery, particularly in patients with previous negative imaging or reoperations.
Methods: A multicenter registry study was performed in 776 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism from 53 hospitals in Germany and Austria who underwent parathyroid surgery after preoperative F-choline or C-methionine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Results: In 683 of 776 patients (88%) (78% female, aged 15-86 years), primary hyperparathyroidism was caused by a single-gland parathyroid adenoma.

Purpose: Assessment of tissue perfusion using near-infrared fluorescence (NIR) with indocyanine green (ICG) is gaining popularity, however reliable and objective interpretation remains a challenge. Therefore, this study aimed to establish reference curves for vital tissue perfusion across target tissues using this imaging modality.
Methods: Data from five prospective study cohorts conducted in three Dutch academic medical centres between December 2018 and June 2023 was included.

Backgroud: Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is characterized by acute and chronic complications due to insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) production or action. Several management guidelines have been developed, but mostly based on evidence from Western countries. Data from Eastern countries have not been systematically compared with those from Western countries.

Introduction: Intraoperative parathyroid gland (PG) localization remains challenging during thyroid surgeries, contributing to postoperative hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism. This study assessed the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in identifying and preserving PGs during thyroid surgeries and its correlation with postoperative outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This ambispective observational study included 57 patients undergoing thyroid surgeries using ICG and compared outcomes with 56 historical controls.
