Patients admitted to total thyroidectomy or completion thyroidectomy is ramdomized to: Intervention: NIR optic imaging assisted identification of the parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy using parathyroid gland autofluorescence. Control: Conventional thyroidectomy and parathyroid identification by the surgeon. Measurements: PTH and ionized-Ca blood samples are collected preoperatively, within 12 hours postoperatively and at 1-, 3-, 9- and 12-months follow-up. Anticipated 214 patients are included, all of which participate in 3 months follow-up. Only patients with persistent hypoparathyroidism at this point continue til maximum 12 months follow-up. An interim analysis will be conducted when inclusion of anticipated 128 patients and 3 months follow-up is reached.
