Importance Evaluation of preoperative and postoperative vocal fold function is important in
patients undergoing thyroid or parathyroid surgical procedures. Transcutaneous laryngeal …

Introduction Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography (TLUSG) is a promising alternative
to direct laryngoscopy in assessing perioperative vocal cord function. This study sought to …

Objective: This review set out to examine the applicability of transcutaneous laryngeal
ultrasonography (TLUSG) for the assessment of laryngeal function after thyroidectomy …

Purpose Direct flexible laryngoscopy (DFL) is the golden standard to evaluate the vocal cord
(VC) function in thyroid and parathyroid surgery pre-and postoperatively. Transcutaneous …

Thyroidectomy is a largely performed intervention and its rate has sharply increased. The
most feared postoperative complication is the recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, which is …

Objective We evaluated the accuracy and feasibility of transcutaneous laryngeal
ultrasonography as an alternative to videolaryngoscopy for assessing vocal cord mobility to …

Background Perioperative examination ofthe vocal folds with flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy
is not always feasible. Prior studies suggest vocal fold ultrasound may provide a useful …

Introduction Although transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasound (TLUSG) is an excellent,
noninvasive way to assess vocal cord (VC) function after thyroidectomy, some patients …

Introduction: Patients with hoarseness of voice, previous neck operation, or suspicion of
malignancy are at high risk of having pre-thyroidectomy vocal cord (VCP) palsy. Therefore …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Laryngoscopy is the principal tool for the clinical
assessment of vocal fold paralysis (VFP). Yet no consistent, unified vocabulary to describe …
