It has previously been shown that identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerves reduces the risk of injury to the nerves during thyroid surgery. To facilitate identification and to test the conductivity of the recurrent nerves we have used electrical stimulation of the nerves and simultaneous recording of the vocal cord movements with two different endolaryngeal devices. The experience gained with these devices indicates that it is possible to reduce the frequency of injury to the nerves, and the method accelerates the progress of the operation, especially in cancer surgery and repeat operations.
此前已有研究表明，识别喉返神经可降低甲状腺手术中神经损伤的风险。为便于识别并测试喉返神经的传导性，我们使用了神经电刺激，并通过两种不同的喉内装置同步记录声带运动。使用这些装置所积累的经验表明，降低神经损伤频率是可行的，而且该方法可加快手术进程，尤其是在癌症手术和再次手术中。
