Abstract
Background
Postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains the most frequent complication after total thyroidectomy. Recently, near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging with or without indocyanine green (ICG) was introduced to evaluate parathyroid glands during surgery. The aim of this paper is to provide recommendations by the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons (ESES) regarding its use in thyroid surgery based on a scoping review and meta-analysis.
