New surgical dye could prevent lifelong complication from thyroid removal

NCT ID NCT04785443

Summary

This study is testing if a special fluorescent dye, injected during surgery, can help surgeons better see and preserve tiny glands near the thyroid. These glands control calcium levels. The goal is to reduce the risk of permanent low calcium, a common and serious complication that requires lifelong medication. About 242 patients having their thyroid removed will be randomly assigned to have surgery with or without the dye to compare outcomes.
