Summary

Neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery remains controversial. While some studies show no benefit in reducing laryngeal nerve paralysis, others advocate for its use in specific cases or routinely during thyroidectomy.

Area of Science:

Endocrinology
Surgical Oncology
Neurosurgery

Background:

Laryngeal nerve injuries are a significant complication of thyroidectomy.
Neuromonitoring is increasingly used to assess nerve function during thyroid surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review recent publications on neuromonitoring in thyroidectomy.
To highlight the ongoing controversy surrounding its effectiveness and application.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of recent literature on neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery.
Analysis of studies presenting differing viewpoints on neuromonitoring's utility.

Main Results:

Contrasting opinions exist regarding neuromonitoring's impact on laryngeal nerve paralysis rates.
Some research suggests no additional benefit, while others support selective or routine use.

Conclusions:

The role of neuromonitoring in thyroidectomy is still debated.
This review examines the advantages and disadvantages of neuromonitoring in this surgical context.
