Using video analysis to protect nerves during thyroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses computer video analysis to help surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands and the nerve that controls your voice during endoscopic thyroid surgery. If you join, the team will record your surgery and use the video to improve the technology that could reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a benign or malignant thyroid condition and be scheduled for endoscopic (minimally invasive) thyroid surgery, not open surgery.
- The surgical team will record a video of your surgery, de-identify it, and use it for research. You must agree to this.
- The hospital must follow standard procedures for video recording and data handling.
- Your basic health information around the time of surgery must be available.

This trial uses a special camera and AI software during thyroid or parathyroid surgery to help surgeons identify and protect the parathyroid glands. The goal is to reduce complications like low calcium levels after surgery.
This study tests a special imaging technique that helps surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. It may reduce the risk of damage to these glands, which control calcium levels.
This trial is for people having robotic thyroid surgery (removing all or part of the thyroid with a robot). It aims to create a scoring system to measure how well surgeons perform the procedure. You may be eligible if you have a small thyroid cancer or a benign nodule and want the best cosmetic result.
This study tests whether using nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery helps protect the nerves that control your voice. It includes adults having one side of their thyroid removed and tracks voice changes before and after surgery.
This study tests a new device that helps surgeons see parathyroid glands during surgery, so they can confirm the gland is removed correctly and reduce complications. It may help you by making your minimally invasive parathyroidectomy more precise and safer.
This trial tests a new device that monitors the nerve controlling your voice during thyroid surgery, to help reduce the risk of voice changes. It may be an option if you're having surgery for a thyroid condition.
