Brown Fat Harvest During Anterior Neck Surgery
During previously indicated thyroid gland removal or anterior cervical spine surgery, as scheduled at UNMHSC, the surgeon will identify the large muscle on the side of the neck in the surgical field. Using minimal dissection adjacent to the muscle, they will then remove 5-10mg of brown fat from this region. These samples will be further analyzed using various biochemical tools.
