Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the electrical characteristics of nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerves (NRILNs) during thyroid surgeries using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and look for associated vascular anomalies.
- Out of 7865 thyroidectomy patients, 42 had NRILNs, with most cases detected through specific EMG signs and difficulties identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- The findings showed a 0.53% prevalence of NRILNs, with a significant percentage having vascular anomalies, and suggest early detection methods during surgery to reduce the risk of nerve injury.
