Surgery for Thyroid Cancer With or Without Autofluorescence to Prevent Hypoparathyroidism
Sponsor: Aarhus University Hospital
Summary
The study aims to test if use of autofluorescence imaging (AF) reduces the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) following surgery for thyroid cancer, either total thyroidectomy (TT) or completion hemithyroidectomy (cHT).
