Structured PICO

Does intra-operative neuro-monitoring reduce the rate of overall RLN palsy in patients undergoing high-risk thyroidectomy?

Population

Patients undergoing high-risk thyroidectomy (including re-operative thyroidectomy and thyroidectomy for malignancy)

Intervention

Intra-operative neuro-monitoring (IONM)

Outcome

Rate of overall RLN (recurrent laryngeal nerve) palsysafety

Intra-operative neuro-monitoring decreases the rate of overall RLN palsy in high-risk thyroidectomy and is recommended for re-operative and malignant cases.

Abstract

Selective use of IONM during high-risk thyroidectomy decreased the rate of overall RLN palsy. IONM should be applied during re-operative thyroidectomy and thyroidectomy for malignancy.
