INJURY TO THE RECURRENT LARYNGEAL NERVE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1937
To the Editor:— In the editorial "Total Thyroidectomy for Congestive Heart Failure," appearing inThe Journal, July 17, the following statement occurs: "Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve was recorded in 8.2 per cent of the cases. In no instance was it bilateral or permanent." This statement includes an opinion widely held among clinicians even ...

Diagnosis and Prognosis of Iatrogenic Injury of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2009
Objectives: Following perioperative injury to a macroscopically intact recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), there are two possible intraneural injury types: 1) axonal injury, including disruption of axons, and 2) conduction block, only affecting the Schwann cells and the nodes of Ranvier.

Traction Injury of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Thyroidectomy

World Journal of Surgery, 2019
AbstractBackgroundLoss of the neuromonitoring signal (LOS) during thyroidectomy signifies recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, which is one of the common complications, especially by traction injury. Transient intraoperative LOS means spontaneous recovery of nerve function during surgery or within 6‐month post‐surgery.

Laryngeal Abductor Function After Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury in Cats

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1996
To determine the influence of severity of neural injury of t he recurrent laryngeal nerve on recovery of laryngeal abductor function and the importance of synkinesis.The recovery of laryngeal abductor function was studied in 30 cats after crushing (second-degree injury) or transection followed by neurorrhaphy (fifth-degree injury) of the recurrent ...

Injury and repair of the recurrent laryngeal nerves in dogs.

The Laryngoscope, 1969
AbstractSurgical repair of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries has received renewed experimental attention in recent years.1,2,3 This work has been motivated by the considerable disability which vocal cord paralysis continues to cause, particularly regarding phonation, aspiration on swallowing, and difficulty in breathing.

Possible Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

2013
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is a potential complication of many surgical procedures involving the neck. The evaluation of a possible injury is possible while under anesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway and a fiberoptic bronchoscope.

Local Neurotoxins for Prevention of Laryngeal Synkinesis after Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2009
Objectives: Persistent vocal fold motion impairment after recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is not characteristically due to absent reinnervation, but often results from spontaneous aberrant reinnervation (synkinesis).

[Microsurgical repair of iatrogenic injuries of the recurrent laryngeal nerve].

Minerva chirurgica, 1999
In this retrospective study the functional results of microsurgical repair of iatrogenic recurrent nerve lesions (10 patients) faced during years 1983 through 1995 have been analysed. Different parameters were considered (thyroid disease, previous thyroid surgery, microsurgical reconstruction technique, time between surgical damage and microsurgery ...

[Laryngeal reinnervation for unilateral traumatic recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries].

Zhonghua er bi yan hou ke za zhi, 2004
To investigate 5 procedures of laryngeal reinnervation for unilateral vocal cord paralysis induced by traumatic recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.35 cases were selected for our study, all patients had unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, including 8 for nerve decompression, 6 for end to end anastomosis of recurrent laryngeal nerve, 16 for main ...
