Intraoperative neuromonitoring vs visual nerve identification only during thyroidectomy

Permanent RILN palsy (nerves) Definition: injury detected clinically, by laryngoscopy or both, in which the motility of the vocal cords did not recover within 6 months after surgery

It is very uncertain whether intraoperative neuromonitoring changes permanent RILN palsy (nerves) Definition: injury detected… compared with visual nerve identification only during thyroidectomy (very low certainty).
