Application effect of infrared fluorescence imaging technology combined with nano-carbon in identifying parathyroid glands in radical thyroidectomy
Objective To explore the application effect of infrared fluorescence imaging technology combined with nano-carbon in identifying parathyroid glands in radical thyroidectomy.Methods A total of 120 patients with thyroid cancer admitted in our hospital from June 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the research objects.The patients were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.Both groups of patients underwent bilateral total thyroidectomy + bilateral central lymph node dissection and/or lateral cervical lymph node dissection.At the same time,the control group routinely used nano-carbon to identify parathyroid glands to complete the operation,and the observation group used infrared fluorescence imaging technology combined with nano-carbon to identify parathyroid glands to complete the operation.The application effects of the two groups were compared.Results At 1 d after operation,the levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone(PTH)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of hypocalcemia and parathyroid glands hypofunction in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The infrared fluorescence imaging technology applied in radical thyroidectomy can assist in identifying parathyroid glands,combined with nano-carbon negative imaging,it can make up for the deficiency that nano-carbon can not distinguish parathyroid glands from non-black labeled fat,thymus and other tissues,so as to effectively protect parathyroid function and reduce complications.
