Abstract

In the thyroid surgery,parathyroid and laryngeal recurrent nerve injury is the most common complications.With the deepening understanding of the laryngeal recurrent nerve anatomy and surgical skills,laryngeal recurrent nerve injury incidence decline,and the prevention of complications of thyroid operation has turned to protect the parathyroid gland from laryngeal recurrent nerve protection.The technique of carbon nanoparticles labeled lymph nodes can effectively protect the parathyroid gland in thyroid surgery.
