Autofluorescence and Indocyanine Green to Avoid Hypocalcemia After Thyroidectomy

"All four parathyroid glands will be actively sought for in every case selected for the use of AF/ICG, with AF verification of parathyroid tissue.~The timepoints of AF will be:~* 1 = after lateral dissection side 1 (side 1)~* 2= after lateral dissection side 2 (side 2)~The timepoints of ICG injection will be:~* 1 = after the first thyroid lobectomy (side 1)~* 2 = after the second thyroid lobectomy (side 2)~Scoring of the viability of parathyroid glands (adapted from Vidal Fortuny et al., 2016):~* 1 = black = not viable/vascularized~* 2 = grey = moderately viably/ moderately vascularized~* 3 = white = viable/well-vascularized"

Gold standard of visual identification and evaluation of viability of the parathyroid glands.
