Abstract:
The recognition of variation in recurrent laryngeal nerves is important for both surgeons and the prognosis of patients undergoing surgery of the neck. Here, we reported a new variation of the right recurrent laryngeal nerves in five patients with thyroid surgery. The new variation is characterized by the additional ascending intracranial branches after division of laryngeal branches.
