About this trial

* Hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication after a total thyroidectomy surgery. It becomes permanent after 6 months. * Untreated permanent hypoparathyroidism is a source of numerous complications in general and therefore requires lifelong replacement therapy resulting in a significant deterioration in quality of life. * The intraoperative use of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography has recently been described as a reliable means of detecting parathyroidism and predicting the risk of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. * This use could prove to be a way to preserve parathyroid in vivo and thus reduce post-operative hypoparathyroidism rates.
