Detailed Description
Temporary and permanent hypoparathyroidism is probably the most important complication of total thyroidectomy. The rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism in quality registries are in the range of is 5-7 percent of patients undergoing surgery.
Patients operated on benign disease with total thyroidectomy, and who suffer from permanent hypoparathyroidism (defined as medication with active Vitamin D analogue therapy for more than 6 months, are at increased risk of renal insufficiency. They also have, for unclear reasons, an increased risk of suffering from malignancy, compared to patients without this complication. Patients with known ischemic heart disease before surgery also have an increased risk of suffering a new episode of cardiovascular disease. Finally, patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism have an increased risk of mortality compared to patients without this complication.
If, by using a technique for autofluorescence (Fluobeam® -LX), one can more accurately identify and avoid damage to the parathyroid glands during the surgical procedure, this would be of great importance for patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for thyroid disease.
Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy are randomized to the use of Fluobeam® -LX to detect the parathyroid glands through autofluorescence during thyroid surgery, or clinical evaluation only (control). Outcome is evaluated by parathyroid hormon (PTH) levels the first postoperative day and the need for medication with calcium and Vitamin D up to 6 months postoperatively.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Fluobeam® LX
Fluobeam® LX is used to detect autofluorescens and identify and evaluate parathyroid glands
|
Fluobeam®-LX is used to identify and evaluate parathyroid glands using auto-fluorescence during thyroid surgery.
|
No Intervention: Control
In the control group, the parathyroid glands are identified and evaluated by eye (ocular examination).
