Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Liberations and Reconstructions: A Single Institution Experience

Abstract: BackgroundRecurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy rates vary from 0.5 to 10 %, even 20 % in thyroid cancer surgery. The aim of this paper was to present our experience with RLN liberations and reconstructions after various mechanisms of injury.MethodsPatients were treated in our institution from year 2000 to 2015. First group (27 patients) had large benign goiters, locally advanced thyroid/parathyroid carcinomas, or incomplete previous surgery of malignant thyroid disease. Second group (5 patients) had reoperati… Show more

“…87 Primary transposition of the ansa cervicalis to the distal RLN should be considered in cases where a section of the nerve needs to be removed for oncologic reasons. 88 Case series' have shown broadly positive outcomes with reinnervation procedures. [89][90][91] Zabrodsky performed immediate revision of suspected bilateral RLN damage, with anastomosis, where possible.…”

“…A technique using the ansa cervicalis is the most popular choice because of its ease of identification, its position adjacent to the larynx, and the minimal morbidity that arises from its harvest . Primary transposition of the ansa cervicalis to the distal RLN should be considered in cases where a section of the nerve needs to be removed for oncologic reasons …”

“…El método estándar para evitar la lesión del nervio laríngeo recurrente es su disección intraoperatoria con la identificación visual de su trayecto; también, se ha descrito la técnica de monitorización neural intraoperatoria para optimizar los resultados de la disección anatómica. Sin embargo, la literatura científica es contradictoria en sus reportes, sin que exista en la actualidad un consenso en relación con el beneficio profiláctico de la ayuda tecnológi-ca [17][18][19] .…”

“…Los principales factores asociados con la lesión del nervio laríngeo recurrente, son: los tumores malignos infiltrantes con intensa reacción desmoplásica, los tumores benignos de gran tamaño, el aumento exagerado de la irrigación sanguínea tumoral que predispone al sangrado intraoperatorio y dificulta la identificación del nervio, la actividad ganglionar perineural, las disecciones quirúrgicas amplias, las reintervenciones quirúrgicas, la fibrosis secundaria a la radioterapia o yodoterapia y los defectos técnicos por falta de competencias y habilidades quirúr-gicas específicas en el área anatómica intervenida [1][2][3][4]17,22 . En relación con el momento operatorio, las lesiones inadvertidas del nervio laríngeo recurrente se asocian con compresión, tracción, ligadura, lesión por diatermia o sección del nervio, que producen alteraciones que van desde la neuropraxia hasta la neurotmesis 22,24,25 .…”
