Brief Summary: This is a prospective study aiming to establish near-infrared autofluorescence technology and PTH test strip as a standardized process for finding and identifying parathyroid glands in thyroid surgery.

Detailed Description: This is a prospective study aiming to establish near-infrared autofluorescence technology and PTH test strip as a standardized process for finding and identifying parathyroid glands in thyroid surgery. NIFRA first photographed all specimens from thyroidectomy with or without central neck dissection, and positive tissues under near-infrared light were recorded in a neck map. Then, a senior surgeon examined the parathyroid glands with the naked eye. These suspicious tissues were then identified with the PTH test strip as a gold standard. Finally, the parathyroid glands discovered during the operation that could not be preserved in situ were excluded from the procedure comparison and classified as strategic parathyroid transplantation.
