Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) of recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy has been widely applied worldwide. Adhesive skin electrodes have been recently suggested as an alternative to applying electromyography (EMG) tube during IONM. However, it has been considered that application of adhesive skin electrodes for IONM may be limited in cases when wide extent of skin flap elevation is required. Up to this date, there has been no study presenting the feasibility of applying skin electrodes for IONM during concomitant thyroidectomy and lateral neck dissection in patients with thyroid cancer. In this study, we report a successful application of adhesive skin electrodes for IONM of recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy conducted with lateral neck dissection.
