- Vocal cord paresis or paralysis is a significant risk in thyroid surgeries, with incidence rates ranging from 1.5% to 20%, potentially leading to hoarseness or severe breathing issues depending on whether the nerve is affected unilaterally or bilaterally.
- The study examined 255 patients who underwent thyroid surgery, assessing risk factors for recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI), and found that 9.8% experienced vocal cord insult, with higher rates in total/near-total surgeries and in cases of malignant lesions.
- Key factors increasing the likelihood of RLNI included male sex, total thyroidectomy procedures, and diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma compared to benign conditions.
