Use of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence During Total Thyroidectomy to Identify Parathyroid Glands and Prevent Hypoparathyroidism

The results of this case series confirm recent studies. Caution is advised when weakly perfused parathyroid glands are discovered.PMID:38237113 | DOI:10.52198/23.STI.43.GS1741
