Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a prevalent endocrine disorder, with an estimated prevalence of 0.86% in the United States. The only definitive treatment for PHPT is parathyroidectomy. Preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands (PGs) is typically achieved using ultrasound imaging and 99mTc-sestamibi scans, which aid in surgical planning and reducing intraoperative gland detection time and increasing the likelihood of successful gland identification. However, reported cure rates can be as low as 79.5%, because of the challenges in identifying PGs intraoperatively. Near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging has recently emerged as a promising adjunctive tool for intraoperative PG identification, particularly in thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy procedures. It has been FDA-approved as an adjunctive tool for parathyroid identification. NIRAF imaging distinguishes n
