The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) innervates the cricothyroid
muscle (CTM) to promote lengthening and thinning of the vocal fold, thus increasing voice …

Background Few studies in the literature have reported recovery data for different types of
recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries (RLNIs). This study is the first attempt to classify RLNIs and …

Technological advances in thyroid surgery have rapidly increased in recent decades.
Specifically, recently developed energy-based devices (EBDs) enable simultaneous …

Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) is now an integral aspect of thyroid surgery in many
centers. Interest in IONM and the number of institutions that perform monitored …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intraoperative
neuromonitoring (IONM) on the injury rate of the external branch of the superior laryngeal …

Background: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy remains a major source of morbidity
after thyroid surgeries. Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) has gained increasing …

Background: Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) has gained widespread acceptance
as an adjunct to the gold standard of visual identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve …

Background The use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) for visual identification of
recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) has decreased the rates of RLN injury (RLNI) during thyroid …

Energy based devices (EBD) have been developed, implemented and increasingly applied
in thyroid surgery because they can provide a combined dissection and haemostatic effect …

Objectives/Hypothesis This study investigated recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) real‐time
electromyography (EMG) data to define optimal safety parameters of the LigaSure Small …
