Intra-operative vagal neuromonitoring predicts non-recurrent laryngeal nerves: technical notes and review of the recent literature.

Conclusion: The NRLN is an important surgical challenge because unilateral palsy can lead to permanent hoarseness. This anomaly emphasizes the importance of a thorough surgical dissection and the use of intra-operative vagal nerve neuromonitoring. Our method of continuous intra-operative vagal nerve monitoring makes it possible to predict a non-recurrent laryngeal nerve in an early stage during surgery.
