Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Fluorescence and autofluorescence have been shown by several recent studies to be valuable adjuncts in identifying parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The aim of this chapter is to review the impact of this new technology on surgical strategy concerning identification and preservation of parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy, identification of parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism, and the potential role in thyroid cancer surgery.
