Assessment of different classification systems for predicting the risk of superior laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid surgery: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 BackgroundA multitude of anatomical variations have been noted in the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN). In this study, intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) was used to assess the potential value of the different classical EBSLN ...

Intraoperative Monitoring of External Branch of the Superior Laryngeal Nerve: Functional Identification, Motor Integrity, and its Role on Vocal Cord Function [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2018 Purpose: Beside recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), protection of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is required for complication-free thyroid surgery. This study investigates the contribution of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM)

Intraoperative cricothyroid muscle electromyography may contribute to the monitorization of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 BackgroundIn thyroid surgery, both the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) should be preserved for maintaining the vocal cord functions. We aimed to evaluate whether EMG of the CTM applied after the
