Prospective study of vocal fold function after loss of the neuromonitoring signal in thyroid surgery: The International Neural Monitoring Study Group's POLT study

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the effects of losing the neuromonitoring signal during thyroid surgery on vocal fold function.
• Prospective study design
• Involved assessment of vocal fold function after nerve monitoring signal loss
• Utilized laryngoscope for evaluation
• Notable changes in vocal fold function observed after loss of neuromonitoring signal
• Specific metrics of vocal function were tracked, demonstrating significant alterations
