- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of the sensitivity of autofluorescence and indocyanine induced fluorescence in identifying parathyroid tissue. Intraoperatively, autofluorescence and indocyanine induced fluorescence are assessed and documented. A grading will not be carried out.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method As devascularized parathyroid tissue is unable to incoporate the fluorophore, existing fluorescence is an expression of intact vascularisation. The extent of fluorescence will be visually determined using a threefold grading (good fluorescence, reduced fluorescence, no fluorescence) and compared to the visual image of the parathyroid gland in normal white light. The images will be documented.
