AI Recognition of Nerves and Glands in Thyroid Surgery Videos
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses artificial intelligence to identify important nerves and glands during endoscopic thyroid surgery by analyzing surgical video recordings. The goal is to help surgeons better protect these structures during surgery and improve patient safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a thyroid condition (benign or cancerous) requiring endoscopic surgery
- You are willing to have your surgery recorded on video for research purposes
- Your video recording will be de-identified (your name and identifying information removed)
- Your medical records have basic surgical information available
- Your surgical center follows the study's standardized video collection procedures

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 called NIRAF to help surgeons identify parathyroid glands during thyroid removal surgery. The goal is to prevent accidental damage to these glands, which can cause low calcium levels after surgery.
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 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to look at ultrasound images and cell samples from thyroid nodules that had an unclear biopsy result. The goal is to see if AI can better tell which nodules are cancerous, helping avoid unnecessary surgery in the future.
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors identify and diagnose abnormal growths or lesions in your throat and upper swallowing passages during endoscopy (a camera examination). The AI tools may help catch problems earlier and more accurately.
This early-stage trial tests artificial intelligence tools designed to help surgeons during a specific type of minimally invasive brain surgery (endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery) used to treat pituitary gland tumors or conditions. The AI may help surgeons navigate and identify key structures more precisely during the procedure.
