Does the Use of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring during Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery Reduce the Incidence of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
DiagnosticsInjury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can be a devastating complication of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has been proposed as a method to reduce the number of RLN injuries but the data are inconsistent. We

Anatomical variations of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and postoperative outcomes in thyroid surgeries conducted at a teaching hospital in Ethiopia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThyroid surgery requires a thorough knowledge of the neck anatomy and its anatomical variations. This is of utmost importance since it is well known that variations of the recurrent laryngeal nerve are prone to iatrogenic injuries.

Injection injuries of the recurrent laryngeal nerve [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1984 AbstractWe describe a new etiology for vocal cord paralysis. Two patients, chronic drug abusers, had in time lost access to the usual peripheral veins, and proceeded then to have the drugs injected repeatedly into the jugular veins in the neck.Both presented with persistent hoarseness and were found to have a unilateral vocal cord paralysis.Neck ...

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury Caused by a Laryngeal Mask Airway [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1999 Although there have been few reports of serious complications with the laryngeal mask airway, we record a case of permanent unilateral vocal cord paralysis following the use of a laryngeal mask airway and review the literature describing injuries, not only to the recurrent laryngeal nerves but also to the hypoglossal and lingual nerves.

Superior laryngeal nerve injury [PDF]
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2014 Purpose of reviewThe superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) provides motor innervation to the cricothyroid muscle. However, the functions of this muscle and the anatomic variations of the nerve that supplies it are not fully understood. SLN paresis and paralysis (SLNp) is difficult to diagnose because of a lack of consistent laryngeal findings, and its effects
