Structured PICO

Does intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring reduce recurrent laryngeal nerve injury rates in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?

P
Population
Patients undergoing thyroid surgery
I
Intervention
Intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring (IONM)
C
Comparator
Visualisation alone (VA)
O
Outcome
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) ratessafety

Intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring does not significantly reduce the rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury compared to visualization alone during thyroid surgery.

Abstract

When compared to VA alone, using IONM failed to significantly reduce RLNI rates during thyroid surgery.
