Glowing glands: new light probe aims to prevent common thyroid surgery complication

NCT ID NCT06765941

Summary

This study is testing a new handheld device called PTeye that uses a special light to help surgeons see tiny parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if using this tool helps surgeons better identify and protect these glands, which could reduce the risk of a common complication where patients need to take calcium and vitamin D supplements after surgery. Researchers will compare surgery outcomes for 154 patients, with half of the surgeons using the device and half relying on their eyes alone.
