Using ICG Angiography to Detect Parathyroid Glands During Thyroid Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the use of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography during total thyroidectomy to improve the detection of parathyroid glands and reduce the risk of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism is a common complication that can lead to significant quality of life deterioration if it becomes permanent. By utilizing ICG angiography, the study aims to enhance the preservation of parathyroid glands during surgery, potentially decreasing the incidence of this complication. The trial will compare outcomes between patients receiving ICG angiography and a control group.
