Thyroid surgery resulted in a 0.6% permanent vocal cord palsy rate when the recurrent laryngeal nerve was not routinely identified. Factors like goiter size and patient age influenced nerve paralysis incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2501 thyroid operations for benign diseases performed between 1979 and 1993.
  • Consistent surgical technique was employed throughout the study period.
  • Routine identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve was not standard practice.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of permanent vocal cord palsies following thyroid surgery.
  • To investigate correlations between nerve paralysis and various surgical and patient factors.

Summary:

  • A 0.6% rate of permanent vocal cord palsies was observed.
  • Incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was correlated with thyroid gland weight, goiter expansion, surgical procedure type, patient age, and gender.

Impact:

  • Highlights potential risks associated with thyroidectomy when recurrent laryngeal nerve identification is not prioritized.
  • Provides data for refining surgical strategies to minimize vocal cord injury.
  • Informs patient counseling regarding the risks of thyroid surgery.
