Key result
Intraoperative neuromonitoring reduces bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid surgery.
Why the study?
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is a major complication of thyroidectomy, and debate persists regarding the efficacy of intraoperative neuromonitoring in mitigating nerve injuries.
Does intraoperative neuromonitoring reduce recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Does intraoperative neuromonitoring reduce recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a valuable adjunct to visual identification in thyroid surgery, particularly for reducing the incidence of bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.

Supports neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before routine adoption.
Lori et al. (2024) conducted a review in Benign and malignant thyroid conditions. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) was evaluated. Intraoperative neuromonitoring during thyroid surgery significantly reduces the incidence of bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, enhancing surgical safety.
