Surgery for Thyroid Cancer With or Without Autofluorescence to Prevent Hypoparathyroidism

Surgery for Thyroid Cancer With or Without Autofluorescence to Prevent Hypoparathyroidism - a Randomized, Controlled Trial


Sponsor

Aarhus University Hospital

Enrollment

160 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The study aims to test if use of autofluorescence imaging (AF) reduces the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) following surgery for thyroid cancer, either total thyroidectomy (TT) or completion hemithyroidectomy (cHT).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Age\>18 years and able to give informed consent.
  • Suspicion or diagnosis of thyroid cancer.
  • Planned total thyroidectomy or completion thyroidectomy.
  • Normocalcemia prior to surgery.

Exclusion Criteria3

  • Planned simultaneous parathyroid surgery.
  • Treatment with active vitamin D analogues.
  • eGFR \< 30.

Interventions

PROCEDURESurgery with autofluorescence

In the experimental group, the surgeon will use the EleVision IR camera system (Medtronic, USA) to visualize parathyroid glands during surgery.
