Intraoperative Posterior Cricoarytenoid Muscle Electromyography May Predict Vocal Cord Function Prognosis after Loss of Signal during Thyroidectomy

Purpose Intraoperative posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (PCAM) electromyography (EMG) may be useful for predicting postoperative vocal cord function (VCF) and prognosis of vocal cord palsy (VCP) in patients with intraoperative loss of signal (LOS). Materials and Methods Thirty out of 395 patients hav...
