A method for identification and functional recording of the recurrent nerve during neck operations is described. The basic principle implicates electrical stimulation of the recurrent nerve causing adduction of the vocal cord registered by means of a balloon placed between the vocal cords. Three different recording methods have been tested in animal experiments and during 26 neck operations on patients. The most simple method employed is recommended as a routine procedure, likely to reduce surgical damage to the recurrent nerve.
本文描述了一种在颈部手术中识别和功能性记录喉返神经的方法。其基本原理是通过电刺激喉返神经，使声带内收，这一过程通过置于声带之间的气囊来记录。在动物实验以及对26例患者进行的颈部手术中，对三种不同的记录方法进行了测试。所采用的最简单的方法被推荐作为常规程序，这可能会减少手术对喉返神经的损伤。
