Abstract:
We describe a technique for probe-based near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF)-guided parathyroid identification during TOETVA. The probe is mounted on a suction cannula and introduced via the central port, allowing real-time confirmation of parathyroid tissue without device modification. This approach enables integration of NIRAF into remote-access thyroid surgery.
