[The surgical anatomy of the adjacent lamellae of the thyroid gland and the laryngeal nerves].

Adjacent lamellae are special fasciae packing up organs tumor-proof. We find them on the rectum and similar layers are developed in the throat. Very important for the surgeon is the anterior lamella. Below the recurrent laryngeal nerve is situated. This anterior lamella is a protection for this vulnerable nerve. The recurrent laryngeal nerve may be aberrant in cases of an anomalous right subclavian artery. The knowledge of the anterior adjacent lamellae of the throat is very important for surgery of the goiter and parathyroid glands.
