Enhancing Parathyroid Gland Preservation in Total Thyroidectomy: Efficacy of Near-Infrared Autofluorescence Probe (PTeye) Versus Visual Identification

A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that PTeye-guided near-infrared autofluorescence significantly improves identification and preservation of parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy, reducing transient hypoparathyroidism, especially in surgeries performed by junior surgeons.
