Summary

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) dissection should be performed cranio-caudally in TOETVA approach.The aim of this study was to compare the cranio-caudal and lateral approach for RLN dissection in regard with the rates of LOS during conventional thyroidectomy using continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring (CIONM).

Conditions

  • Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injuries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lateral approach

Following the ligation of upper pole vessels, the thyroid lobe was pulled anteromedially and the RLN was dissected within the carotid triangle at the level of inferior thyroid artery (ITA).

PROCEDURE

Cranio-caudal approach

Following the ligation of upper pole vessels, the upper pole was retracted antero-medially to expose crico-pharyngeal muscle. The RLN was identified at the point of entry both visually and with hand held stimulation probe
