Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy for non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN).Methods From Oct.2013 to Apr.2016,2846 patients underwent thyroidectomy with the application of IONM,and 11 patients with non-recurrent laryngeal nerve were analyzed.Results 11 cases of NRLN were all accurately identified by IONM,and no injury of NRLN occurred during thyroid surgery.Conclusions NRLN is uncommon in clinical and it is difficult to be predicted before surgery and easy to be injured.The application of IONM can reduce the possibility of NRLN injury remarkably.
