Surgeons find it challenging to preserve healthy parathyroid glands (PGs) and confirm removal of diseased PGs during parathyroidectomies, often leading to postoperative complications and costly frozen section analysis (FSA). PTeye™ - a fiber-optic probe-based system that detects near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) was FDA-cleared to serve as an intraoperative adjunct device to aid in intraoperative PG identification. We sought to assess the impact of NIRAF detection during parathyroidectomies for the first time through a single-center randomized clinical trial. Our current findings indicate that PTeye™ could improve a surgeon’s confidence in PG identification, while potentially reducing FSAs needed during parathyroidectomies.
