Unbiased Stereology Applied to Microscopic Investigation of Human Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Epineurium

Improving Voice Outcomes After Injury to the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the voice outcomes before and after the administration of voice therapy in patients who suffered an injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve after undergoing thyroidectomy. Methods: The sample consisted of 26 patients (2 males and 24 females) aged between 18 and 80 years (m=55±12) who experienced injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve fol...

Quantitative analysis of the anatomy of the epineurium of the canine recurrent laryngeal nerve.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the amount of epineurium surrounding the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) compared with a limb nerve, that to flexor hallicus longus (NFHL). Nerve samples were obtained from 10 adult dogs and studied using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy to measure the relative proportion of epineurium and the relative proportions of adipose an...

Non-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...

Non-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...
