Near Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF) Detection for Identifying Parathyroid Glands During Parathyroidectomy
Parathyroid Diseases, Parathyroid Dysfunction, Parathyroid Neoplasms
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Parathyroid Diseases focused on measuring Near Infrared Autofluorescence, Parathyroidectomy, Intraoperative Parathyroid Identification, Persistent Hyperparathyroidism, Persistent Hypercalcemia, Failed Parathyroidectomy, Repeat Parathyroidectomy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- All adults >=18 years old) patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who will be undergoing parathyroid surgery
- All adult (>=18 years old) patients with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism after having undergone a failed prior parathyroid surgery who will be undergoing repeat parathyroid surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children and minors
- Pregnant women
- Patients with concurrent parathyroid and thyroid disease that require total thyroidectomy
- Patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism
Sites / Locations
- University of California, San FranciscoRecruiting
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)
Usual Standard of Care
For patients assigned to the study arm, the surgeon will use the PTeye as an intraoperative tool to identify if a suspect tissue is a parathyroid or not, during the parathyroid surgery.
The surgeon will proceed with the parathyroid surgery as usual, while relying solely on her/his surgical experience in identifying the parathyroid glands during the operations.
