BACKGROUND: We report vocal improvement after reconstruction of the recurrent laryngeal
nerve (RLN) in patients with nerve resection, although vocal cord movement was not …

Objective: The objective of this prospective study was to assess the long‐term effects of
immediate reconstruction of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid cancer …

Objective: To study the recovery in phonation after reconstruction of the recurrent laryngeal
nerve (RLN) in patients whose thyroid cancer was invading the nerve, and to evaluate the …

Objective This study was undertaken to determine whether the recurrent laryngeal nerve
involved in differentiated thyroid carcinoma could be preserved. Summary Background Data …

Vocal cord paralysis is one of the most serious problems in surgery for patients with thyroid
cancer. The vocal cords may be paralysed at presentation, or the recurrent laryngeal nerve …

Surgeons may assume intuitively that preservation of a palsied recurrent laryngeal nerve
(RLN) in patients with preoperative vocal cord paralysis is not meaningful. Here we present …

Background Quality of voice after immediate recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) reconstruction
in thyroid cancers has not been thoroughly studied. Methods Thirteen patients with fixed …

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is one of the most serious problems in conducting
surgery for thyroid cancer. Different treatments are available for the management of UVFP …

Background The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may be involved by thyroid cancer even in
patients with functioning vocal cords preoperatively. In such cases, we try to preserve the …

End-to-end anastomosis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve had been abandoned because
movement of the vocal cords could not be restored because of misdirected regeneration …
