Fluorescence intensity of parathyroid glands in thyroid and parathyroid surgery: a near-infrared autofluorescence study
NIRAF demonstrates high efficiency in identifying PGs across various surgical stages, outperforming conventional visual identification. The FI of superior and inferior PGs exhibits significant variability across different intraoperative stages. Surgeons should exercise caution when identifying PGs in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and hyperthyroidism, as these conditions are associated with lower FI compared to other thyroid diseases.
