Abstract
The surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid disease has evolved considerably since the era of Theodor Kocher. We review the current trends in thyroid and parathyroid surgery concerning robotic surgery for remote access, the use of parathyroid autofluorescence detection technology to aid in the prevention of hypocalcemia as well as the use of thermal ablation to target thyroid nodules in a minimally invasive way. We also discuss how artificial intelligence is being used to improve the workflow and diagnostics preoperatively as well as for intraoperative decision-making. We also discuss potential areas where future research may enhance outcomes.

Intraoperative Autofluorescence Imaging for Parathyroid Gland Identification during Total Laryngectomy with Thyroidectomy. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15030875. [PMID: 36765832 PMCID: PMC9913419 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoparathyroidism is a known complication of total laryngectomy, although parathyroid preservation and/or reimplantation are not routine. Autofluorescence is a new technique for identifying parathyroid glands intraoperatively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of autofluorescence in this context. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of patients undergoing total laryngectomy/pharyngectomy with concomitant thyroidectomy using the Fluobeam® (Fluoptics, Grenoble, France) and frozen section of a parathyroid fragment in case of reimplantation. The rates of identification using autofluorescence, reimplantation, and hypoparathyroidism were evaluated. RESULTS Eighteen patients (16 males, median age 67) underwent total laryngectomy/pharyngectomy with total thyroidectomy (n = 12) or hemithyroidectomy (n = 6). A median of 2 parathyroid glands were identified per patient. Ninety-two percent were identified by autofluorescence before visualisation. All parathyroids were reimplanted due to devascularization. Temporary hypoparathyroidism occurred in nine patients, and was permanent in one patient. After 34 months of median follow-up (range 1-49), no tumor recurrence was observed in the reimplantation sites. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the largest study to evaluate autofluorescence during total laryngectomy with thyroidectomy. No tumor recurrence occurred in the sites of parathyroid reimplantation.

Preliminary experience with the EleVision IR system in detection of parathyroid glands autofluorescence and perfusion assessment with ICG. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1030007. [PMID: 36325460 PMCID: PMC9619109 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1030007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains the most frequent complication of neck endocrine surgery. In order to reduce the incidence of this feared complication, several systems for imaging of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) have been invented to help surgeons identify parathyroid glands (PTGs) and evaluate their vascularization. We evaluated the efficacy of the EleVision IR system in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. METHODS We used the EleVision IR system in 25 patients who underwent thyroid/parathyroid surgery or both at our institution between December 2020 and July 2021. At various stages of the surgery, the surgeon first looked for PTGs with the naked eye and then completed the visual inspection with NIRAF imaging. We then compared both the naked eye and NIRAF-supported PTGs detection rates. At the end of surgery, we performed indocyanine green angiography of PTGs in 17 patients. RESULTS In total, we identified 80% of PTGs: 65% with the naked eye only and additional 15% with the assistance of the EleVision IR system. 14 of 17 patients evaluated by ICG angiography had at least one well-vascularized PTG. Only one of these patients (a case of subtotal parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism) developed symptomatic postoperative hypocalcemia despite a normal parathormone level. The three other patients had at least one remaining moderately-vascularized PTG and only one patient developed transient postoperative hypoparathyroidism. CONCLUSION We concluded that EleVision IR provides an efficient support for identification and evaluation of PTGs, and may be of great assistance in endocrine surgery. The images are easy to interpret even for less experienced surgeons thanks to the different types of color visualization and the possibility to measure the relative fluorescence intensity of PTGs and surrounding tissues.
