Effects of intraoperative nerve monitoring techniques on voice and swallowing disorders after uncomplicated thyroidectomy: preliminary report of a bi-institutional prospective study

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Usually, these complaints are related to lesions of the inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN) or the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN). Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) gives some advantages in identifying laryngeal nerves and preventing bilateral palsies. To date, although the use of IONM has widely increased, there is no evidence of its ability in reducing the incidence of laryngeal nerve palsy in studies that concern almost exclusively intermittent-IONM (i-IONM). There is a lack of data concerning the favorable effects of c-IONM in reducing the adverse neural effects of thyroidectomy . . .
