Sihler's stain is a whole mount nerve staining technique that renders other soft tissue
translucent or transparent while staining the nerves. It permits mapping of entire nerve …

Introduction The recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) are branches of the vagus nerve that go
on to innervate most of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. Historically, the RLN has been …

Objectives To analyze the frequency of extralaryngeal branching (ELB) of the recurrent
laryngeal nerve (RLN) in a consecutive series of patients undergoing thyroidectomy by the …

INTRODUCTION: Recognition of extralaryngeal bifurcation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve
(RLN) is crucial, because inadvertent intraoperative division may lead to significant …

Background The function of the extralaryngeal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve
(RLN) has yet to be described precisely. The goal of this study was to evaluate the incidence …

Introduction Recognition of extralaryngeal branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)
is crucial, because inadvertent operative division may lead to significant postoperative …

Background Few small studies reported that motor fibers are located exclusively in the
anterior branch of the bifid recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The aim of this study was to …

Background. Complete anatomic knowledge including all variations of the inferior laryngeal
nerve (ILN) is mandatory for thyroid surgeon. Extralaryngeal terminal division (ETD) of the …

Purpose The aim of the current study was to analyze some parameters that are involved in
nerve conduction in the right and left recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs) in humans. We have …

Extralaryngeal division of the recurrent laryngeal nerve was contradictory in the literature.
We aimed to investigate extralaryngeal division of the nerve, and also propose a new …
