A. It is commonly known that complications such as transient hypocalcemia are linked to the unexpected excision of parathyroid glands. The utilization of autofluorescence for intra-operative identification of parathyroid glands allows the surgeon to identify in real-time parathyroid glands and to preserve them during surgery.
This detection guides the surgeon to clearly visualize the vascularization of the parathyroid glands and therefore to assess their viability during the surgery and makes resection easier.».
