Abstract:
Hypoparathyroidism is an important complication of thyroidectomy. Identification of the parathyroid glands during thyroid-ectomy may be the first step for preserving these organs and preventing the loss of their function. Generally, surgeons can confirm parathyroid tissues based on frozen biopsy during thyroid surgery; however, this method can lead to vascular damage as a result of cut-ting part of the parathyroid glands and is associated with additional cost and waiting time. To identify the parathyroid gland more con-veniently, quickly, and accurately during thyroid surgery, some novel techniques have been developed. In this article, current studies that describe intraoperative rapid in situ identification of the parathyroid glands are reviewed.
