Anatomical Variations of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Thyroid Surgery: How to Identify and Handle the Variations With Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy is the most common and serious complication after thyroid surgery. Visual identification of the RLN during thyroid surgery has been shown to be associated with lower rates of palsy, and although it has been ...

Bilateral Symmetry and Variation of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve and Inferior Thyroid Artery Patterns: An Intraoperative Study of 150 Nerves

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The anatomical relationship of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is highly variable. This study aims to evaluate bilateral RLN branching patterns and their relationship to the ITA within the same patient, predicting contralateral anatomical variations and ultimately reducing intraoperative risk of RLN ...

[Non recurrent laryngeal nerve. Personal experience].

Il Giornale di chirurgia, 2005
Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid or parathyroid surgery is the most common iatrogenic cause of vocal cord paralysis. Identification of the RLNs and meticulous surgical technique can significantly decrease the incidence of this complication. Nonrecurrent RLNs (NRRLNs) are exceedingly rare.

Variant Anatomy Literacy as a Patient‐Safety Competency in Surgical Training: A Title‐Informed Conceptual Review and Competency Framework

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical safety depends on recognition of patient‐specific anatomy when encountered structures depart from population norms. Knowledge of anatomical variations is often treated as supplemental rather than as a safety‐relevant necessity.

Surgical Challenges in Papillary Thyroid Cancer Patient With Kartagener's Syndrome: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports
Kartagener's syndrome is a rare disorder defined by situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis, with mirror‐image anatomy that may alter recurrent laryngeal nerve course and vascular structures.

Artificial structures for human‐machine interfaces with closed‐loop interaction

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Artificial structures bridge sensing and feedback in closed‐loop human‐machine interfaces by providing geometry‐enabled mechanical and functional programmability. This review maps the role of artificial structures in diverse sensing modalities and feedback strategies, and illustrates their integration into closed‐loop interaction systems, highlighting ...

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Non-Recurrent Laryngeal nerve: A case report and review of literature

Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association, 2020
Right recurrent laryngeal nerve can take a "Non-Recurrent" course and can present as a Non Recurrent Laryngeal nerve which is a rare entity. Such anomalies can lead to difficulty in locating the laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgeries and there are higher chances of it being injured. Therefore, surgeons should be mindful of this entity.

Twelve‐Month Outcomes of a Preventive Dysphagia Intervention in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Randomized Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Radiation‐associated dysphagia is common after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and may occur early or years later. The effect of preventive exercises might be undermined by poor adherence. Aim To evaluate the effect of a simple preventive exercise protocol on swallowing function up to 12 months after radiotherapy.

The non-recurrent laryngeal nerve: An anatomical “trap”

Revista Portuguesa de Endocrinologia, Diabetes e Metabolismo, 2014
AbstractThe non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) is a rare anatomic variation associated with subclavian artery abnormalities. In these cases lack of information about this situation increases the risk of iatrogenic damage of the nerve.This article describes the incidental pre-operative identification of vascular anomaly and therefore the ...
