Core Tip
Core tip: A female patient was admitted to our department due to thyroid nodules. Fine needle aspiration biopsy suggested a papillary thyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent near-infrared (NIR) laparoscopy-assisted thyroid lobectomy with isthmectomy and prophylactic central lymph node dissection. During the operation, two right parathyroid glands (PGs) adjacent to the thyroid gland capsule and the right recurrent laryngeal nerve were examined by indocyanine green fluorescence using a NIR fluorescence camera, and the PGs and recurrent laryngeal nerve were reliably preserved. The postoperative parathyroid hormone level was in the normal range and no significant hypocalcemia symptoms were observed. During NIR laparoscopy-assisted thyroidectomy, indocyanine green fluorescence may aid PG identification and protection.
