Near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI) is comparable to the experienced surgeon’s visual inspection in identifying parathyroid glands.
Electrode Configuration Impacts Stability of Nerve Monitoring Signal During Thyroid Surgery
A look at the impact of positioning or head manipulation during thyroid surgery on two different commercially available recording electrode arrays.
Transoral Robotic Thyroid Surgery Is a Safe Option for Obese Patients
This initial experience shows that transoral robotic thyroid (TORT) appears to be a safe and feasible option for obese patients pursuing scarless thyroid surgery.
ALEs an Alternative to Endotracheal Tube Electrode Neural Monitoring
Compared to ETT surface electrodes, anterior laryngeal electrodes (ALEs) provide similar and stable electromyographic responses with equal sensitivity during neural monitoring in thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring Is Highly Effective in Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve Identification
The NRLN has been associated with an increased risk of injury during thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
Patients with Graves Disease at Increased Risk for Hematoma Following Thyroid Surgery
Graves disease is the only indication in which patients undergoing thyroidectomy are at increased risk of postoperative hematoma formation
