    Area of Science:

    • Anatomical studies
    • Surgical anatomy
    • Thyroid surgery

    Background:

    • Thyroidectomy involves complex anatomical considerations.
    • Nerve identification is crucial for preventing complications.
    • Existing literature emphasizes various anatomical landmarks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the most critical anatomical consideration during thyroidectomy.
    • To emphasize the importance of recurrent laryngeal nerve identification.
    • To provide practical surgical guidance for thyroidectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical relationships relevant to thyroidectomy.
    • Analysis of the significance of nerve-ligament versus nerve-artery relationships.
    • Surgical strategy recommendations based on anatomical findings.

    Main Results:

    • The relationship between the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the posterior suspensory ligament is paramount.
    • Locating the nerve at the superior thoracic inlet is a key initial step.
    • Surgical anatomy of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve is also important.

    Conclusions:

    • Prioritizing recurrent laryngeal nerve identification with the posterior suspensory ligament improves surgical safety.
    • Early nerve localization enhances thyroidectomy outcomes.
    • Parathyroid gland retrieval and reimplantation are feasible during surgery.
