About

In thyroid surgery, the identification and preservation of the parathyroid glands and their vascularization is essential to avoid postoperative hypoparathyroidism. In this sense, fluorescence technology with autofluorescence (AF) can help us avoid this post-surgical complication. This study aims to determine the advantages offered by fluorescence in thyroid surgery, taking into account various clinical variables.

For this, a randomized study is proposed in patients undergoing thyroid surgery with and without cervical fluorescence.
