Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring in Thyroid Operations

Almquist, Martin LU (2023) p.89-94
Abstract

Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a rare but dreaded complication of thyroid surgery. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is a technology intended to assist surgeons in identifying the RLN and confirming its function. This chapter describes the technology and technique of IONM, with tips for utilization and interpretation of results. A review of the existing literature on the results of IONM use is provided.
