In recent decades, significant advances have been made in protecting the parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerves during thyro-idectomy. However, reliable and convenient technical means are still lacking. In this study, the reliability, safety and feasibility of near-infrared (NIR) laparoscopy-assisted thyroid lobectomy with isthmectomy and prophylactic central lymph node dissection (CLND) were reported.
