Animal Study to Evaluate the Effect of Carbon Dioxide Insufflation on Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Function in Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy

Abstract Data with regard to potential recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) compromise caused by intra-neck CO2 insufflation during transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) are missing. RLN electromyographic (EMG) profiles, metabolic and hemodynamic parameters (oxygen saturation, h...
