NCT06288750

Brief Summary

Accurate identification and evaluation of the parathyroid glands (PGs) intraoperatively is critical to reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI), including the autofluorescence (AF) and indocyanine green fluorescence (ICGF) imaging, is a promising technique to protect PGs. This study aimed to assess whether the combined use of AF and ICGF could reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism and improve the identification and evaluation of PGs during total thyroidectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Identification of parathyroid glands (PGs) by NIR/ICG camera detected high-contrast

    İntravenous injection of ICG dye, to identify PGs under NIR (High-contrast fluorescence seen or not)

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Central lymph node dissetion (CLND)

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

Indocyanine green group

EXPERIMENTAL

Identification of parathyroid glands (PGs) Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence visualization of PGs, for only experimental group

Device: Indocyanine Green

Traditional surgery group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional means of identification and assessment of PGs are mainly based on surgeon-dependent identification of their anatomical location and appearance (color, shape, etc.) by the naked eye.

Device: No indocyanine green

Interventions

ICG is a fluorescent dye which binds tightly to plasma proteins and becomes confined to the vascular system.

Also known as: Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging
Indocyanine green group

Conventional means of identification and assessment of PGs are mainly based on surgeon-dependent identification of their anatomical location and appearance (color, shape, etc.) by the naked eye.
