Intraoperative Monitoring of External Branch of the Superior Laryngeal Nerve: Functional Identification, Motor Integrity, and its Role on Vocal Cord Function

Purpose: Beside recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), protection of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is required for complication-free thyroid surgery. This study investigates the contribution of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) to identification and motor integrity of the...
