This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device \'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)\' for identifying parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
