Intraoperative contrast enhancement with nano-carbon suspension in thyroid surgery. This image shows the application of nano-carbon suspension during total thyroidectomy and cervical lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Injecting nano-carbon into the thyroid gland and surrounding tissues enhances visual contrast, distinctly delineating the parathyroid glands from adjacent structures. The black staining facilitates the precise identification and preservation of the parathyroid glands, reducing the risk of inadvertent injury during surgery.
