Consequently, we compared the surgical outcome parameters between the two groups, including the operative time, numbers of PG identifying (PG protection <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>, PG auto-transplantation, and PG accidental removal), numbers of the total lymph node (LN) and metastatic LN, parathyroid hormone (PTH), transient hypoparathyroidism, transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and postoperative bleeding.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 194 (194\/196, 98.98%) and 215 (215\/230, 93.48%) PGs in the test group and control group, respectively, and there was a significant difference (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.005), and this result was due to IPG identification differences (96\/98, 97.96% vs. 100\/115, 86.96%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.004).
