A Closer Look at Laryngeal Nerves during Thyroid Surgery: A Descriptive Study of 584 Nerves
Morbidity after thyroidectomy is related to injuries to the parathyroids, recurrent laryngeal (RLN) and external branch of superior laryngeal nerves (EBSLN). Mostly these are due to variations in the surgical anatomy. In this study we analyse the surgical anatomy of the laryngeal nerves in Indian patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Materials and Methods. Retrospective study (February 2008 to Feb...
متن کاملNeurological Complications in Thyroid Surgery: A Surgical Point of View on Laryngeal Nerves
THE CERVICAL BRANCHES OF THE VAGUS NERVE THAT ARE PERTINENT TO ENDOCRINE SURGERY ARE THE SUPERIOR AND THE INFERIOR LARYNGEAL NERVES: their anatomical course in the neck places them at risk during thyroid surgery. The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EB) is at risk during thyroid surgery because of its close anatomical relationship with the superior thyroid vessels and the superi...
متن کاملNonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerves and anatomical findings during thyroid surgery: report of three cases
A nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) is found more frequently on the right side than on the left, and it is closely associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery. The presence of the aberrant right subclavian artery on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan suggests NRILN; however, different types of branching locations and pathways exist. Here, we report three NRILN cases ...
متن کاملRecurrent laryngeal nerve injury in thyroid surgery.
OBJECTIVES Vocal cord paresis or paralysis due to iatrogenic injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLNI) is one of the main problems in thyroid surgery. Although many procedures have been introduced to prevent the nerve injury, still the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy varies between 1.5-14%. The aim of the present study is to assess the risk factors of recurrent laryngeal nerve...
متن کاملThe recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid surgery.
The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is an essential nerve for phonation and psychosocial interaction. Throughout the annals oflaryngological history, vocal cord paralysis has been a well recognised disorder. A rich heritage of scientific investigation and research has considered the complexity of vocal cord function, laryngoscopic presentation and surgical rehabilitation. Identification and pre...
