Intraoperative Neuromonitoring and Optical Magnification in the Prevention of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries during Total Thyroidectomy [PDF]

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis is a fearful complication during thyroidectomy. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and optical magnification (OM) facilitate RLN identification and dissection.

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]

Diagnostics
Injury 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

Intraoperative neuromonitoring for preservation of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy: initial experience from Vietnam [PDF]

Frontiers in Surgery
ObjectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in identifying the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN), classifying its anatomical variations, and to evaluate short-term vocal function in patients ...

Anatomical variations of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and postoperative outcomes in thyroid surgeries conducted at a teaching hospital in Ethiopia [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Thyroid 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 ...

Gene Therapy for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury [PDF]

Genes, 2018
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury has considerable clinical implications, including voice and swallowing dysfunction, which may considerably impair the patient’s quality of life. Recovery of vocal fold movement is an essential novel treatment option for RLN injury. The potential of gene therapy for addressing this issue is highly promising.

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.
