No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This single-center prospective randomized interventional study evaluated whether intraoperative low-current stimulation could assist recurrent laryngeal nerve localization and reduce temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid surgery.

Conditions

  • Thyroid Disease
  • Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

Interventions

PROCEDURE

3 mA low-current stimulation-assisted recurrent laryngeal nerve identification

Low-current stimulation at 3 mA was used as an adjunct to anatomical recurrent laryngeal nerve identification. Response was judged according to visible or palpable laryngeal twitch.

PROCEDURE

5 mA low-current stimulation-assisted recurrent laryngeal nerve identification

Low-current stimulation at 5 mA was used as an adjunct to anatomical recurrent laryngeal nerve identification. Response was judged according to visible or palpable laryngeal twitch.
