Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: incidence, management, and impact on short- and long-term outcomes.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2017
BACKGROUND Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury caused by esophagectomy may lead to postoperative morbidity, however data on long-term recovery are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences of RLN palsy (RLNP) in terms of pulmonary

Dissection versus prosection by anatomical region: Evaluating a regional group dissection curriculum in medical education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Gross anatomy education has undergone significant changes due to evolving curricular demands, leading to reduced hands‐on dissection opportunities in many medical schools. The purpose of this study was to compare the academic performance of medical student dissectors and those assigned to prosection‐based learning across anatomical regions ...

Coexistence of left recurrent and non-recurrent laryngeal nerves in thyroid surgery: A case report

Otolaryngology Case Reports, 2022
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is one of the most critical complications in thyroid surgery. Anatomic variations of the RLN often account for iatrogenic nerve injury.

The dead still teach the living: Body donor dissection in the digital age of anatomy education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Donor‐based dissection has become increasingly contested in modern medical curricula as digital anatomy platforms, simulation technologies, virtual dissection tables, three‐dimensional reconstructions, and artificial intelligence‐supported learning have expanded.

IONM of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

, 2016
Thyroid surgery can pose risk to both the right and the left recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) in a single surgical procedure. Unilateral vocal cord palsy (VCP) can lead to morbidity related to changes in voice, especially in professional voice users, as ...

Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury

, 2008
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is accompanied by a poor functional recovery of the target organ, the larynx. For the patient this means impairments of vocal fold mobility and various kinds of voice disorders.
