Identificação do ramo externo do nervo laríngeo superior na tireoidectomia minimamente invasivo vídeo-assistida

Abstract: The minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) without gas infusion is considered safe and has advantages in terms of cosmetic results compared to the conventional approach. Aim: to present our findings regarding the identification of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during MIVAT. Study design: Transversal cohort study. Material and Method: twelve patients underwent hemithyroidectomy for thyroid nodular disease through MIVAT method. The upper pedicle of the thyroid was d… Show more

“…This technique has been recommended and is a well-accepted method for soft tissue incisions when the aim is to control bleeding and minimize thermal injury (complementing or replacing electrocautery, laser or even the cold scalpel), and it allows simultaneous cutting and coagulation. Because this method does not use an electrical current, the harmonic scalpel eliminates the risk of burns and it is easy to install and handle, leading to decreased surgical time (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . The vessel sealing device seals vessels by fusing the inner layers of the vessel wall with minimal levels of thermal dispersion, burning and tissue friction, thereby reducing the incidence of accidental burns (6) .…”
