What was measured

Overall number of parathyroid glands identified (Experimental Group: Glands identified with naked eye + NIRAF; Control Group: Glands identified with naked eye)

Groups in this outcome

PTeye

The surgeon will use the PTeye as an intraoperative tool to identify if a suspect tissue is a parathyroid or not, during the total thyroidectomy procedure. PTeye: The surgeon will first take 5 baseline NIRAF measurements on the thyroid gland (or neck muscle, if thyroid is absent) using the disposable sterile fiber probe that is connected to the PTeye console, as per device functionality requirements.

Standard of Care

The surgeon will not use the PTeye and will proceed with the total thyroidectomy as usual, while relying solely on her/his surgical experience in identifying the parathyroid glands during the operations.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
