A combined nano-carbon tracer and nano-fluorescence assay for parathyroid misresection reduction in thyroid surgery

In recent years, the incidence of nodular goiter and thyroid carcinoma (TC), as well as the amount of surgery, have been increasing simultaneously. To summarize the significance and experience of combined nano-carbon tracer and nano-fluorescence assay for parathyroid misresection reduction in thyroid surgery. The data of patients who underwent thyroid surgery from November 2016 to July 2017 in the Thyroid Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University were collected and divided into test group (combined nano-carbon tracer and nano-fluorescence assay method, 80 cases) and a control group (nano carbon tracer method, 80 cases). Comparison of the patient data and preoperative and postoperative blood calcium, blood phosphorus, PTH value in the control and test group was performed. No significant difference was found on gender, age, preoperative Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium and PTH, postoperative Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium was found in the control and test group (all the p > 0.05), whereas significant difference was found on the postoperative PTH between control and test group (p
