Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Thyroid Surgery
Nerve Injury

Background:

Bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve damage is a significant complication of thyroidectomy.
Intraoperative nerve monitoring has reduced but not eliminated this risk.
Understanding the clinical presentation and recovery of vocal fold motility deficits is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To define the onset and recovery patterns of vocal fold motility deficits after thyroidectomy.
To identify prognostic indicators for these complications.
To inform appropriate therapeutic strategies based on clinical characteristics.

Main Methods:

Retrospective observational study of 1417 thyroidectomy patients (2017-2022).
Focused on 30 patients with bilateral vocal fold motility deficit.
Analyzed demographic data, acute complications, and long-term diagnostic/therapeutic pathways.

Main Results:

Five patients experienced acute respiratory failure requiring prolonged intubation.
The remaining 25 patients underwent a 9-month diagnostic and therapeutic process.
Outcomes ranged from spontaneous recovery to the need for functional or surgical restoration.

Conclusions:

This study provides valuable prognostic information for vocal fold motility deficits post-thyroidectomy.
Tailored therapeutic approaches based on specific clinical features are essential.
Further research can optimize management strategies for these nerve injuries.
