| Abstract | Objectives In over 30% of all thyroid surgeries, complications arise from transient and definitive hypoparathyroidism, underscoring the need for real-time identification and preservation of parathyroid glands (PGs). Here, we evaluate the promising intraoperative optical technologies available for the identification, preservation, and functional assessment of PGs to enhance endocrine surgery. Methods We performed a review of the literature to identify published studies on fluorescence imaging in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Results Fluorescence imaging is a well-demonstrated approach for both in vivo and in vitro localization of specific cells or tissues, and is gaining popularity as a technique to detect PGs during endocrine surgery. Autofluorescence (AF) imaging and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography are two emerging optical techniques to improve outcomes in thyroid and parathyroid surgeries. Near-infrared-guided technology has significantly contributed to the localization of PGs, through the detection of glandular AF. Perfusion through the PGs can be visualized with ICG, which can also reveal the blood supply after dissection. Conclusions Near infrared AF and ICG angiography, providing a valuable spatial and anatomical information, can decrease the incidence of complications in thyroid surgery. |
