Thyroid Surgery Safety with PTeye and Nerve Monitoring Technologies

July 10 / 2025

PTeye and Nerve Monitoring

 

 

 

     PTeye Parathyroid Detection is an advanced surgical device that assists surgeons in accurately identifying the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. It uses autofluorescence technology, enabling real-time detection of the natural fluorescence emitted by parathyroid tissue.

 

Benefits of PTeye

  • Minimizes the risk of parathyroid gland damage—essential for regulating calcium levels in the body.
  • Helps surgeons distinguish parathyroid tissue from surrounding structures, reducing the risk of accidental removal.
  • Decreases the likelihood of hypoparathyroidism, a condition that may cause numbness in the hands and feet or muscle spasms after surgery.

 

What is Nerve Monitoring, and Why is it Important?

     Nerve Monitoring is a system used during surgery to monitor the function of the laryngeal nerves, which control the voice. This technology alerts the surgical team when the instruments are near the nerves, helping to prevent accidental injury.

 

Benefits of Nerve Monitoring:

  • Enables the surgeon to identify and preserve nerve function with greater accuracy.
  • Provides real-time alerts to avoid nerve damage.
  • Reduces the risk of postoperative voice complications, leading to faster recovery for the patient.
