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

Variations of the origin of superior thyroid artery and its relationship with the external branch of superior laryngeal nerve. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The superior thyroid artery, the main atrial supply of neck region, is branched from the external carotid artery as a first branch, but it may also arise from the common carotid artery and its bifurcation.

Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy via a Single-Port Subclavian Approach Versus Open Surgery for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. [PDF]
World J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck SurgABSTRACT Objective Historically, performing contralateral thyroid lobectomy and lymph node dissection via the subclavian approach has been considered challenging. This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of gasless endoscopic total thyroidectomy and central compartment neck dissection via the single‐port subclavian approach (SpSCA) in comparison

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring of the External Branch of the Superior Laryngeal Nerve during Thyroidectomy: The Need for Evidence-Based Data and Perioperative Technical/Technological Standardization [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is surgically relevant since its close anatomical proximity to the superior thyroid vessels. There is heterogeneity in the EBSLN anatomy and EBSLN damage produces changes in voice that are very ...
