Autofluorescence in Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Surgery with autofluorescence: In the experimental group, the surgeon will use the EleVision IR camera system (Medtronic, USA) to visualize PTGs during surgery. The surgical field will be visualized with AF as a minimum of two times during surgery on each side of the neck: First upon exposing the undersurface of the thyroid gland, and secondly before removal of a pathological PTG. Also, removed PTGs will be examined ex vivo to document AF pattern.
Study summary
The study aims to test if autofluorescence imaging (AF) is a useful surgical aid during parathyroidectomy (PTX) for primary hyperthyroidism (PHPT).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Operating time — During surgery
