Abstract:
[Summary] With the rapid development of endoscopic thyroidectomy for its advantages of hidden incision and good cosmetic effects, it becomes a significant issue to reduce surgical adverse effects.Recurrent laryngeal nerve ( RLN) injury is among the most important complications and is paid much attention to by clinical researchers.Reasons leading to RLN injury include accidental injury, ligation and intraoperative blood loss. An appropriate way to expose RLN, skilled operation performance, precise anatomy, individualized operation scheme and intraoperative neuromonitoring can prevent RLN injury.
