Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial on the Use of Flexible Reinforced Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) During Total Thyroidectomy: Effects on Postoperative Laryngopharyngeal Symptoms

Abstract

A flexible reinforced LMA placed during surgery decreases the incidence and severity of laryngopharyngeal symptoms and is a feasible anesthetic tool compared with a conventional endotracheal tube for thyroidectomy.
