ObjectiveTo understand the methods of judging the blood supply of parathyroid during thyroidectomy at home and abroad in recent years. MethodThe literature on parathyroid blood supply was collected, the research progress was reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of related methods were analyzed. ResultsIn recent years, near-infrared fluorescence, laser speckle contrast imaging and other technologies had been applied. They showed better advantages as compared with naked eye observation. The research on parathyroid blood supply at home and abroad was still in its infancy, and more clinical samples and related equipment optimization were still needed. ConclusionFluorescence imaging technology has a certain auxiliary role in the judgment of intraoperative parathyroid blood supply and can reduce the incidence of hypoparathyroidism to a certain extent.
