Determination of Parathyroid Function by Fluorescence With Indocyanine Green (ICG) After Total Thyroidectomy

Summary

The intensity of parathyroid fluorescence that occurs after intravenous injection of indocyanine green during the performance of a total thyroidectomy correlates with postoperative parathyroid function and could be used as a diagnostic marker of postoperative hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.
