Özet

Background: Indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) angiography has been used for many purposes including as part of a focused parathyroidectomy technique. Concomitant fluorescence of thyroid tissue may cause challenges defining parathyroid tissue during surgery, since ICG is not a selective fluorescent agent. On the other hand, cosmesis is still a big problem for patients due to the visible neck scars produced by the standard surgical technique. In this study, we described a novel technique to solve both these handicaps.
