Risk Factors for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy in Thyroid Surgery: A Single Center Experience of 1147 Procedures with Intermittent Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy is one possible complication during thyroid surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring and visualization of the nerve during surgery are standard procedures to reduce the risk of RLN palsy. This study aims to investigate new factors for RLN palsy and review ones that are already known in the literature to help surgeons prepare for the procedure.
