Advantages of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Identification in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy and the Importance of Preoperative and Postoperative Laryngoscopic Examination in More Than 1000 Nerves at Risk

Abstract

Besides indirect laryngoscopy, videostroboscopy should be performed in all cases with no evident bilateral normal laryngeal function or normal voice. Otherwise, the incidence of false-positive or false-negative diagnosis of RLNP is likely to be increased.
