Assessing Parathyroid Glands Vascularisation by ICG Fluoroscopy

Summary

Evaluate parathyroid gland perfusion during total thyroidectomy or thyroid totalisation surgery. Create an objective basis for the decision whether or not to transplant the parathyroid glands. Avoide postoperative serum calcium and parathyroid hormone dosages, and thus abstention of systematic supplementation with calcium and vitamin D in case of good perfusion.
