Operative and technical complications of vagus nerve stimulator implantation.
BACKGROUND The treatment of refractory epilepsy by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a well-established therapy option for patients not suitable for epilepsy surgery and therapy refractory depressions. OBJECTIVE To analyze surgical and technical complications after implantation of left-sided VNS in patients with therapy-refractory epilepsy and depression. METHODS One hundred five patients re...
متن کاملNon-recurrent laryngeal nerve.
AIMS The paper draws attention to the importance of rare, but important anatomical variety of nervus laryngeus recurrens, s.c. nervus laryngeus non-recurrens, for making thyroidectomy safely. Possible differences in the course of the nerve and the way of preparing the gland for minimizing the peroperation damage are presented. PATIENTS Three cases out of 1,200 operations on thyroid gland (0.2...
متن کاملNon-recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a serious complication in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The anatomy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is variable. Non-recurrent nerve is a very rare variation of the inferior laryngeal nerve. Because of the anatomical variations of the nerve, preservation of the nerve is the optimal strategy during surgery. In this case report, we present a non-recu...
متن کاملContinuous intraoperative vagus nerve stimulation for identification of imminent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
BACKGROUND Conventional intraoperative nerve monitoring, predicated on intermittent stimulation, can predict recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy only after the damage has been done. METHODS Fifty-two patients (52 nerves at risk) who underwent continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring (CIONM) for thyroid surgery via vagus nerve stimulation had their electromyographic (EMG) tracings recorded...
متن کاملNon-recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid surgery.
A case of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve is reported. The non-recurrent laryngeal nerve was found on the right side and was not associated with any vascular abnormalities. The anatomy and surgical implication of this rare condition is discussed
