No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The sternothyroid (ST) muscle is closely adherent to the thyroid gland with oblique insertion into the thyroid cartilage. EBSLN passes through the sternothyroid laryngeal triangle with a parallel course deep to the ST muscle.

This study evaluates the transection of the sternothyroid muscle as a key step during thyroidectomy to increase the rate of exposure and visual identification of EBSLN compared to ST muscle retraction as a traditional technique.
