The sensitivity and specificity of methylene blue spray to identify the parathyroid gland during thyroidectomy

Background Hypocalcemia is a common complication of thyroidectomy resulting from an injury to the parathyroid gland. Methylene blue, which is a medication and dye that has been used for more than a century, is safe and readily available. The previous study has found that methylene blue spray on the...
