Intraoperative Autofluorescence Parathyroid Identification in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Intrinsic near-infrared (NIR) autofluorescence of the parathyroid gland enables intraoperative gland identification without the need for contrast agent injection. However, whether real-time autofluorescence imaging is useful in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and primary hyperparathyroidism is unknown.

Objective

To compare quantified intraoperative parathyroid autofluorescence imaging results for patients with MEN1-associated vs those with non-MEN1 sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.

Design, setting, and participants

A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on a cohort of 71 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism by 2 experienced endocrine surgeons between June 1, 2017, and July 31,
