Key result
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a well-established method used to prevent intraoperative nerve damage during thyroid surgery, including transoral robotic thyroidectomy.
Why the study?
Does intraoperative neuromonitoring prevent intraoperative nerve damage in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Does intraoperative neuromonitoring prevent intraoperative nerve damage in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a well-established and useful technique for preventing nerve damage during conventional and robotic thyroid surgery.
IONM guidance in thyroid surgery aids training; leaves open prospective outcome data for robotic and external branch applications.
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a well-established method used to prevent intraoperative nerve damage, and many studies have been performed in thyroid surgery. We introduced the basic concept and practical application of intraoperative neuromonitoring, as well as its standardized techniques and detailed contents. In addition, the contents of this still yet relatively unknown field, such as its application in transoral robotic thyroidectomy and its application to the external branches of the superior laryngeal nerve, were summarized by referring to many previous studies.

You et al. (2021) conducted a review in Thyroid surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) vs. Visual identification alone was evaluated. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a well-established method used to prevent intraoperative nerve damage during thyroid surgery, including transoral robotic thyroidectomy.
