The aim of this study is to determine if fluorescence with or without indocyanine green can facilitate safe and accurate thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
The accurate identification of the parathyroid gland is a crucial aspect of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Failing to recognize the parathyroid gland during thyroidectomy can result in the inadvertent removal of the gland, leading to postoperative hypocalcemia. On the other hand, during parathyroidectomy, there is a risk of mistaking other structures, such as lymph nodes, for parathyroid adenomas, which can leave the patient without a cure. Currently UAB employs intraoperative PTH or radioactive isotope techniques in conjunction with surgeon judgment. However, both methods have limitations, including being time-consuming, posing logistical challenges, and not providing feedback before gland removal.
Parathyroid fluorescence is a relatively new technology. It was initially discovered that the parathyroid gland emits fluorescence, which distinguishes it from the surrounding tissues. Additionally, indocyanine green dye is readily taken up by the parathyroid gland, making its detection easy to the naked eye. Research has demonstrated that parathyroid fluorescence, with or without indocyanine green, is not only safe but also helps reduce postoperative hypocalcemia and locate lesions in patients with imaging-negative parathyroid adenomas. However, the current use of parathyroid fluorescence is not standardized, and further studies are needed to explore its clinical utility in terms of cure rates and postoperative complications.

| Indocyanine green | Drug | ICG Administration: All enrolled patients with scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy will receive a standard cervical incision that afford access to either side of neck. Following sufficient exposure of thyroid, 25 mg of indocyanine green (ICG), reconstituted in 10 ml of sterile water, will be administered intravenously. A dosage of 1 ml of this solution will be injected into a peripheral IV line, followed by a 5 ml flush of normal saline to ensure the propagation of the dye within the vascular compartment. |

| Percentage of Parathyroid Glands identified by ICG | Measuring the percentage of the number of glands per participant that emit fluorescence. ICG Administration: All enrolled patients with scheduled thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy will receive a standard cervical incision that afford access to either side of neck. Following sufficient exposure of thyroid, 25 mg of indocyanine green (ICG), reconstituted in 10 ml of sterile water, will be administered intravenously. A dosage of 1 ml of this solution will be injected into a peripheral IV line, followed by a 5 ml flush of normal saline to ensure the propagation of the dye within the vascular compartment. Fluorescent Imaging: Approximately 30 seconds post-administration, the parathyroid glands are expected to exhibit fluorescence under near-infrared imaging. The emitted fluorescence is anticipated to persist for approximately 20 minutes, allowing ample time for intraoperative evaluation of parathyroid viability and perfusion. | 20 minutes |
