Evaluating Impact of Near Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF) Detection for Identifying Parathyroid Glands During Parathyroidectomy
This study will see if 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 is better than a surgeon's detection alone. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used. Parathyroidectomy - look at application of the technology to see if it assists during a parathyroidectomy.
• Primary hyperparathyroidism who will be undergoing parathyroid surgery
• Persistent primary hyperparathyroidism after having undergone a failed prior parathyroid surgery who will be undergoing repeat parathyroid surgery
