Population-based studies have demonstrated that an increasing number of incidental
thyroid nodules are being identified. The corresponding increase in thyroid-based …

This publication offers modern, state‐of‐the‐art International Neural Monitoring Study Group
(INMSG) guidelines based on a detailed review of the recent monitoring literature. The …

Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) during thyroid and parathyroid surgery has gained
widespread acceptance as an adjunct to the gold standard of visual nerve identification …

Objective Thyroidectomy may be performed for clinical indications that include malignancy,
benign nodules or cysts, suspicious findings on fine needle aspiration biopsy, dysphagia …

The two most common early complications of thyroid surgery are hypocalcemia (20–30%)
and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (5–11%). Bilateral recurrent nerve paralysis resulting in …

Background The role of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) of the recurrent laryngeal
nerve (RLN) during thyroid surgery is still debatable. The aim of this meta-analysis was to …

Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP) is an important and potentially catastrophic
complication of thyroid surgery. Permanent RLNP occurs in 0.3–3% of cases, with transient …

Background Injuries to the recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (RILN) remain one of the major
post‐operative complications after thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Damage to this nerve …

Introduction Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has been a commonly used technology
during thyroid surgery aimed at reducing the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy …

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is an intractable complication of thyroidectomy.
Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) was designed to prevent RLN injury. However, the …
