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

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 …

Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate
thyroidectomy. Background: Surgical management of thyroid disease has evolved …

Anatomic variations have a significant impact in general and oncological surgery, often
necessitating modification of surgical techniques or leading to intraoperative complications …

Background Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is perceived to reduce recurrent
laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) compared to RLN visualisation alone (VA). We performed a …

Over the past two decades, intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) has matured into a
powerful risk minimization tool. Meta-analyses of studies, most of which were limited by poor …

Thyroid surgery rates have tripled over the past three decades, making it one of the most
frequently performed procedures within general surgery. Thyroid surgery is associated with …

Objective Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) techniques aim to identify and potentially
prevent nerve injury during surgeries. Prior studies into the efficacy of recurrent laryngeal …

Iatrogenic nerve injuries contribute significantly to postoperative morbidity across various
surgical disciplines and occur in approximately 500,000 cases annually in the US alone …

Introduction While the performance of a thyroidectomy is generally associated with a low risk
of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), the presence of a non-recurrent nerve …
