| Resumo: | Introduction: Identifying and preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve is essential in thyroid surgery. Nerve Intraoperative Monitoring aids with this task and helps predict post-operative prognosis. Case Description: A 64-year-old male undergoes a Total Thyroidectomy with central and left lymphadenectomy for papillary thyroid cancer with intra-operative neuro-monitoring. Discussion: One of the most dreaded post-operative complications is bilateral recurrent nerve lesion. This can be prevented by using nerve intraoperative monitoring that allows mapping and detecting nerve lesion in real-time which, in turn, helps make surgical decisions such has completing the thyroidectomy. Conclusion: Although it doesn’t replace the surgeon’s expertise, nerve intra-operative monitoring contributes to safer surgical procedure. |
