About This Trial
Transient and/or permanent hypoparathyroidism is the most frequent complication after total thyroidectomy. The identification of the parathyroid glands and a correct dissection during thyroidectomy have been postulated as key factors for their preservation and, consequently, to prevent hypoparathyroidism. The use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has reliably predicted parathyroid glands fun…
