Indocyanine green angiography indicated high sensitivity for the intraoperative identification of pathologic parathyroid glands leading to a resection rate of 95.16%. The modality was useful, especially in cases of revisional surgery or ectopic parathyroid glands. Randomized trials have already proven the value of indocyanine green imaging in predicting postoperative hypocalcemia. Our results support the regular use of this method during parathyroid surgery.
