Laryngeal Electromyography as a Predictive Factor in the Evolution of Unilateral Recurrent Paralysis Post-Thyroidectomy.

: Dysphonia, a common symptom after thyroid surgery, is most often caused by damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is used as a qualitative diagnostic tool to distinguish neurological etiology from other causes of dysphonia. The purpose of this study is to establish the value of LEMG as a predictor factor in the recovery of unilateral recurrent paralysis post-thyroidectomy.
