Summary

This study tests a device called PTeye that uses a special light to help surgeons find and protect parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. These small glands control calcium levels and are often accidentally damaged or removed, causing lifelong need for calcium and vitamin D supplements. The trial will compare outcomes in 154 patients who have surgery with or without the PTeye probe. If successful, the device could reduce post-surgery complications and the need for long-term medication.
