PurposeIntraoperative imaging of parathyroid glands (PGs) has been developed in order to reduce the risk of unintentional parathyroidectomy during total thyroidectomy. This novel modality is based on their intrinsic characteristic of autofluorescence (AF) after near-infrared light exposure. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of this method on the risk of unintentional PG excision (total or partial) during total thyroidectomy.<p class="abs...
