Comparing PTeye-assisted Versus Conventional Total Thyroidectomy

Reducing Post-operative Hypoparathyroidism With Probe-based Near Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF)- Assisted Total Thyroidectomy Versus Conventional Total Thyroidectomy, a Randomized-controlled Trial

Sponsor

The University of Hong Kong

Enrollment

210 participants

Start Date

Sep 16, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Total Thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia Hypoparathyroidism Post-surgical Parathyroid

Summary

This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether PTeye™ can reduce post-operative hypoparathyroidism (PH). The study will enroll consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy in a teritary endocrine surgery unit in Hong Kong, randomizing them into receiving conventional surgery versus PTeye™-assisted surgery. Subjects will be assigned to the two groups before surgery. Subjects will be under medical care as in usual practice.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years
