The Anatomical Relationship of Inferior Thyroid Artery and Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Review of the Literature and Its Clinical Importance

Abstract: Background: Thyroidectomy is a quite common daily operation in general surgery. However, the anatomical structures of the region, mainly the relationship of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and inferior thyroid artery (ITA) makes the procedure challenging. The current review of the literature aims to report the anatomical variations of this relationship. Methods: The preferred reporting items for systemic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used for the systematic review of the articles found aft… Show more

“…The difference between the neck sides was significant; and 62.6% (95% CI: 56.3-65.7) of the RLNs were posterior to the ITA on the left side, whereas, only 37% (95% CI: 45.2-53.5) on the right side [8]. Additionally, the study of Noussios et al demonstrated that the most common type of RLN was posterior to the ITA (24).…”

“…Кроме того, ВГН расположенный латеральнее НЩА при тракции доли ЩЖ испытывает наибольшее воздействие. Таким образом, ВГН с несколькими экстраларингеальными ветвями, находящимися латеральнее НЩА, является более уязвимым и считается «худшим» вариантом синтопического расположения нерва [19,22,23]. На практике Sormaz I. и соавт.…”

“…при анализе топографических картин 4198 ВГН выявили медиальное расположение нерва (под НЩА) в 52,1% случаев. В 23,9% наблюдений авторами отмечен латеральный вариант нерва (поверхностнее артерии) и только в 18,9% случаев нерв определялся между сосудистыми ветвями [23]. Однако в другой работе, основанной на диссекционном материале (76 трупов), ВГН все же чаще определялся между ветвями НЩА (в 46,9% случаях), а латеральная и медиальная локализации обнаружены только в 28,0% и 24,5% соответственно [30].…”
