Abstract

Objective:To explore the preventive method of injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid surgery and the treatment after injury.Methods:A retrospective study of 178 cases of thyroid operation in our hospital,which consists of 85 cases with single lateral partial or total thyroidectomy,75 with double lateral partial thyroidectomy,11 with single lateral total thyroidectomy plus isthmectomy,7 with thyroid carcinoma radical correction.Results:There was no injury,except for two cases damage to validate the recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid surgery,which were fully recovered after treatment.Conclusion:To dissect recurrent laryngeal nerve routinely in thyroid surgery can prevent the injury.
