- Original description
This study examines the impact of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring signal changes on the postoperative voice quality of thyroid surgery patients. By analyzing extensive surgical data and postoperative voice recordings, the investigation seeks to identify patterns in the variations of these signals and their correlation with voice quality outcomes. The goal is to enhance clinical understanding and surgical practices, allowing for more precise assessments of nerve function, informed surgical interventions, and improved postoperative patient well-being.Read full original descriptionShow less
Intraoperative Neuromuscular Monitoring and Its Impact on Pre- and Postoperative Acoustic Outcomes in Thyroid Surgery
This study examines the impact of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring signal changes on the postoperative voice quality of thyroid surgery patients. By analyzing extensive surgical data and postoperative voice recordings, the investigation seeks to identify patterns in the variations of these signals and their correlation with voice quality outcomes. The goal is to enhance clinical understanding and surgical practices, allowing for more precise assessments of nerve function, informed surgical interventions, and improved postoperative patient well-being.
Inclusion: Age 20-60 years old; Planned conventional unilateral thyroid lobectomy + isthmus resection + central compartment lymph node dissection.
Exclusion: History of upper respiratory tract infection in the 2 weeks before surgery or postoperative infection history; History of past head and neck surgeries; Pronunciation system defect and disorder history; History of vocal cord polyps or nodules; History of neurological disorders; Preoperative functional voice or language disorders, noticeable hoarseness, or difficulty in pronunciation; Neurological disorders causing abnormal throat function; Abnormalities in the throat; Preoperative damage to throat morphology or motor function; Pre- and postoperative laryngoscopic examination showing vocal cord paralysis and arytenoid joint dislocation; Patient unable to cooperate with VHI (Voice Handicap Index) assessment and voice spectrum examination.
