Abstract:ObjectivesThe feasibility and reliability of trans-thyroid cartilage EMG recording method (TCERM) during intraoperative monitoring (IONM) of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in thyroid surgery have been established. This study compared two different recording electrode placements on the ipsi-lateral and contra-lateral lamina of the thyroid cartilage (TC).MethodsFifty consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy with 100 RLNs at risk were enrolled. Two paired subdermal needle electrodes were inserted … Show more
