Intraoperative quantitative assessment of parathyroid blood flow during total thyroidectomy using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging ‐ surgical strategies for preserving the function of parathyroid glands

Abstract Objective We investigated the factors affecting postoperative parathyroid gland (PTG) function and devised an objective index to predict the postoperative PTG function during total thyroidectomy. Method This was a retrospective clinical review of 21 consecutive patients who were diagnosed w...

description Abstract Objective We investigated the factors affecting postoperative parathyroid gland (PTG) function and devised an objective index to predict the postoperative PTG function during total thyroidectomy. Method This was a retrospective clinical review of 21 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma and underwent total thyroidectomy. The maximum intensity ratio (MIR) was determined as the maximum fluorescence intensity after ICG injection divided by the intensity before ICG injection. Results Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is significantly associated with simultaneous central neck dissection (CND) and lateral neck dissection (LND) (p = .032). The Spearman correlation test showed a moderate correlation between the MIR and iPTH levels (p = .0047). The optimal MIR cutoff value for predicting postoperative hypoparathyroidism was 2.14 with area under the curve = 0.904 (sensitivity: 0.769 and specificity: 1.00). Conclusion CND + LND was significantly associated with postoperative hypoparathyroidism. MIR was found useful in predicting the postoperative PTG function. Level of Evidence: 3b.
