Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Morbidity: Lessons from Endoscopic via Bilateral Areola and Open Thyroidectomy Technique

Background and aim Elucidating the mechanism of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injuries through intraoperative electromyographic (EMG) and laryngeal examination approaches may deepen our knowledge regarding its prevention strategies. To date, no studies have been reported on the mechanism of RLN injury caused by endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilateral areola approach (ETBAA).
