Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in thyroid surgery: a review
Open accessAbstract
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 palsies in 5–8%. A literature review and analysis of recent data regarding RLNP in thyroid surgery was performed, with particular focus on the identification of high‐risk patients, the role of intraoperative identification and dissection of the nerve, and the role of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and optimal perioperative nerve assessment. In conjunction with the review, data from the M onash U niversity/A lfred H ospital E ndocrine S urgery U nit between J anuary 2007 and O ctober 2011 were retrospectively analysed, including 3736 consecutive nerves at risk (NAR). The current literature and our data confirm that patients undergoing re‐operative thyroid surgery and thyroid surgery for malignancies are at increased risk of RLNP. Intraoperative visualization and capsular dissection of the RLN remain the gold standard for intraoperative care during thyroid surgery for reducing RLNP risk. IONM should not be used as the sole mechanism for identifying and preserving the nerve, although it can be used to aid in the identification and dissection of the nerve, and may aid in nerve protection in high‐risk cases including cancer surgery and re‐operative surgery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
