“…Thus, a reliable, non‐invasive, readily available, and easy to learn technique is desired which would clearly outline the anatomical structures of laryngeal inlet and functionally analyse the VF movement. Unsurprisingly, transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasound (TCLUS) is gaining popularity as an alternative to FL for vocal fold assessment is still lacking due to variable reported diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to distinguish disabled VFs.…”

“…However, universal acceptance is still lacking due to variable reported diagnostic sensitivity and specificity to distinguish disabled VFs. In most studies, TCLUS has been performed by otolaryngologists, endocrine surgeons, or radiologist, but none by the anaesthesiologist. Although anaesthesiologists have been performing airway ultrasound for assessing difficult airway, measurement of tracheal diameter for selection of the appropriate size of double lumen tube, identifying cricothyroid membrane for surgical securement of airway but functional analysis of VF by TCLUS is relatively unexplored.…”

“…Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasound can assess functionality of VFs by evaluating mobility of true or false VFs subjectively or by quantification of vocal fold displacement velocity (VFDV) . Neither technique has proven superiority over the other for reliable identification of disabled VF.…”

Provided achievement of optimal acoustic window, TCLUS can reliably assess disabled VFs with FL reserved for their confirmation or doubtful cases. Subjective assessment of VF mobility should suffice in most cases with additional VFDV estimation reserved pre-operatively for situations with higher risk of VFs disability, and post-operatively when subjective VF assessment findings are discordant from pre-operative status.

Purpose. To study a possibility of performance and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US) of a larynx in identification of motility disorders of VF (vocal folds) in comparison with the laryngoscope which is traditionally applied for this purpose.Materials and methods. According to the objectives of the study, two patient groups were formed. In first group of patients (n = 466) we studied acceptability of ultrasonografy to discriminate various laryngeal structures. In second group of patient (n = 432) we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in point of detection of vocal muscles paresis.Results. Laryngeal structures were available to examination by ultrasound (without taking in account age and sex) in 92.7% of patients. Two patterns have been identified in the course of this part of the study: deterioration of visibility of the vocal folds with increasing patient age and better visibility of the vocal folds in women than in men. According to the comparative analysis, ultrasonography accuracy rate (in those patients who had had clearly visible vocal folds during ultrasonography) did not differ from that during videolaryngoscopy.Conclusion. During the conducted research it was found that the US of the larynx is an effective and perspective method for detection of a paresis of VF with sensitivity and specificity 93,55% and 100% respectively. Among those patients who' VF are available to ultrasound evaluation the accuracy of method is comparable with a videolaryngoscopy and can be used with success in daily work of units of endocrine surgery.

Background The use of ultrasound‐guided ablation procedures to treat both benign and malignant thyroid conditions is gaining increasing interest. This document has been developed as an international interdisciplinary evidence‐based statement with a primary focus on radiofrequency ablation and is intended to serve as a manual for best practice application of ablation technologies. Methods A comprehensive literature review was conducted to guide statement development and generation of best practice recommendations. Modified Delphi method was applied to assess whether statements met consensus among the entire author panel. Results A review of the current state of ultrasound‐guided ablation procedures for the treatment of benign and malignant thyroid conditions is presented. Eighteen best practice recommendations in topic areas of preprocedural evaluation, technique, postprocedural management, efficacy, potential complications, and implementation are provided. Conclusions As ultrasound‐guided ablation procedures are increasingly utilized in benign and malignant thyroid disease, evidence‐based and thoughtful application of best practices is warranted.
