Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy for external branch of superior laryngeal nerve(EBSLN).Methods From Jan.2017 to Jun.2017,138 patients undergoing thyroidectomy were randomly divided into monitor group (n=69) and the control group (n=69).The monitor group were used IONM for EBSLN,while the control group were used conventional area protection.Results The overall incidence of EBSLN injury was 1.4％(1/69) in the monitor group,and the overall incidence of EBSLN injury was 11.6％(8/69) in the control group.There was statistical significance between the two groups.Conclusion The application of IONM in thyroidectomy can exactly identify EBSLN,and reduce the possibility of EBSLN injury remarkably.
