Summary

This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • All primary hyperparathyroidism patients eligible for parathyroidectomy (PTx). Both bilateral and focused mode of PTx will be considered for this study, based on the surgeon's preference.
  • Re-operative primary hyperparathyroidism patients who have undergone a failed prior PTx.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with concurrent parathyroid and thyroid disease that require total thyroidectomy.
  • Patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
