The clinical impact of intraoperative autofluorescence-based identification of parathyroids using a near-infrared camera remains unknown.
Publications
We evaluated the feasibility and the tolerance of repeated fluorescent indocyanine green angiography in free flap monitoring, and determined the intraoperative predictive values of flap vitality.

Reconstructive surgery has for objective to restore anatomical defects using flaps. We tested fluorescent angiography in reconstructive surgery using the Fluobeam™ device for flap planning and monitoring.

Indocyanine green fluorescence (ICGF) and parathyroid autofluorescence (AF) are two new techniques that aid in the identification of parathyroid glands (PG) intraoperatively during thyroidectomy. There is no study comparing the efficacy of these techniques.

Intraoperative localisation and preservation of parathyroid glands improves outcomes following thyroid and parathyroid surgery. This can be facilitated by fluorescent imaging and methylene blue; a fluorophore is thought to be taken up avidly by parathyroid glands.

Parathyroid gland (PG) identification during thyroid and parathyroid surgery is challenging. Accidental parathyroidectomy increases the rate of postoperative hypocalcaemia. Recently, autofluorescence with near infrared light (NIRL) has been described for PG visualization. The aim of this study is to analyze the increased rate of visualization of PGs with the use of NIRL compared to white light (WL).
