Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring versus identification alone on post-thyroidectomy true vocal fold palsy: a meta-analysis.
To compare by meta-analysis the effect of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) monitoring versus RLN identification alone on true vocal fold palsy rates after thyroidectomy. ⋯ This meta-analysis demonstrates no statistically significant difference in the rate of true vocal fold palsy after using intraoperative neuromonitoring versus recurrent laryngeal nerve identification alone during thyroidectomy.
