OBJECTIVE To explore the advantage of exposure recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroidectomy. METHODS Exposure the recurrent laryngeal nerve was performed deliberately in 452 cases during thyroidectomy. The larynx was examined with laryngoscope before and after operation. RESULTS Of the 452 cases with 748 exposed recurrent laryngeal nerve, only 14 cases (1.88%) occurred temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and 2 cases (0.27%) occurred permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. CONCLUSION Exposure the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy can protect the nerve from surgery injury.
