Can technology improve the accuracy of parathyroid tissue identification during surgery? In this episode of the BackTable ENT Podcast, Gopi Shah MD and Ashley Agan, MD MBA welcome Dr. Michael Singer, an otolaryngologist specializing in minimally invasive parathyroid and thyroid surgery at Henry Ford Health in Michigan. First, Dr. Singer discusses various aspects of identifying parathyroid glands during surgery, differentiating between hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia, and the impact of concurrent thyroid disease on patient outcomes. He highlights the importance of continuous improvement and being open to new technologies, specifically the use of autofluorescence and fluorescence imaging to enhance surgical accuracy and patient safety. The conversation also addresses the practical applications of these technologies, including the Medtronic PTeye parathyroid detection system, and their potential to change the approach to thyroid and parathyroid surgeries. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Singer emphasizes the importance of being honest with oneself as a surgeon in order to improve skills and provide the best care for patients.
