Application of intraoperative neuromointoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring technology in reoprative thyroid surgery / 临床外科杂志

ABSTRACT

At present,thyroid surgery is widely carried out during clinical practice.Because of preoperative or intraoperative misdiagnosis,nonstandard scope of operation,tumor recurrence and other factors,resulting in some cases needed to treat again.Due to the previous surgical scar adhesion and disordering of anatomical structure,the risk of injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN)increased manyfold.Intraoperative neuromointoring(IONM)is a technology for monitoring the functional integrity of the nervous system in state of dangerous by neural electrophysiological means.Better than the naked eye to identify and prompt the recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,to find the site of injury,IONM can significantly reduce the chance of transient RLN injury during thyroid reoperation as a sharp weapon to protect RLN.
