Assessing Benefits of Near Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF) Detection for Identifying Parathyroid Glands During Total Thyroidectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PTeye for Thyroid Neoplasms and 8 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 114 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will see if the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with a 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during total thyroidectomy (TTx) is better than surgeon's detection alone. It compares risk, benefits and outcomes in TTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The surgeon will first take 5 baseline NIRAF measurements on the thyroid gland (or neck muscle, if thyroid is absent) using the disposable sterile fiber probe that is connected to the PTeye console, as per device functionality requirements.
