Abstract:
Recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node (RLN LN) is not only the most common site of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma metastasis, but also a key factor affecting the prognosis of patients. RLN LN is a reliable predictor of cervical lymph node metastasis, and its status determines whether cervical lymph node dissection should be performed. However, because of its wide range of operations, large trauma and high incidence of postoperative complications, it is very important to screen out the beneficiaries.
