Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional Method  Naked eye view assessment of parathyroid gland after total thyroidectomy 
Intervention  Indocyanine Green fluoroscence dye  ICG will be prepared, according to protocol, the dye mixed with 5 ml sterile water and 2.5 ml injected intravenously. The injection repeated until a maximum dose of 5 mg per kg per day. The catheter flushed after each injection for a rapid image gain. After approximately 1–2min, images acquired using the SPY Fluorescent Imaging system (Novadaq, Ontario, Canada). This system consists of an imaging head equipped with a charge-coupled device camera, a laser light source, and a distance sensor. After thyroid resection, all identified parathyroid glands will be scored visually for viability from grade 0 (no vascularity) to 2 (excellent vascularity), and angiography with ICG will be then performed. The parathyroid glands will appeared in shades of grey depending on the amount of ICG flowing through the parathyroid tissue, thereby reflecting the degree of vascular blood flow

Brief Summary  

Identification of parathyroid glands is one of the main concerns in thyroid surgery. It is usually very difficult to distinguish parathyroid glands from thyroid and surrounding tissues in the neck due to their small size and variable location. The percentage of incidental parathyroidectomies is around 16% The incidence rate of hypocalcemia can reach up to 4.5% in total thyroidectomies rising to 11.5% in thyroidectomies with central node dissection. These rates can increase to 50% for transient hypocalcemia and 13.8% for permanent hypocalcemia in total thyroidectomies. The main cause of hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy is hypoparathyroidism due to intraoperative damage to the parathyroid glands by trauma, inadvertent parathyroid gland removal or devascularization. The extent of damage to the parathyroid glands is difficult to predict during surgery. The feasibility of ICG in assessing the parathyroid gland function in patients undergoing thyroidectomy and thereby preventing postoperative hypocalcemia is being compared with our conventional methods in this study
