As demonstrated in earlier material, the frequency of palsy of the recurrent nerve following mediastinoscopy varies from 0.18 to 0.53 percent (17,000 patients). In 67 patients operated via mediastinoscopy, where pre- and postoperation indirect laryngoscopy was carried out, four postoperative palsies (6 percent) were discovered. Of these, 3 were found among the 24 patients with malignant infiltration of the mediastinum. The value of pre- and postoperation examination of the larynx is stressed.
如早期资料所示，纵隔镜检查后喉返神经麻痹的发生率在0.18%至0.53%之间（17000例患者）。在67例接受纵隔镜手术的患者中，术前和术后均进行了间接喉镜检查，发现4例术后麻痹（6%）。其中，3例发生在24例纵隔恶性浸润患者中。强调了术前和术后喉部检查的价值。
