Abstract

Hypoparathyroidism is one of the major complications of total thyroidectomy. This complication can occur when the parathyroid tissue is unintentionally removed or the parathyroid vessels is ligated. Early mapping and localization of the parathyroid tissue would be helpful to prevent such unintended complication. The authors introduce the procedures of parathyroid identification with Near-infrared autofluorescence performed in our institution.
