Paradigms of intraoperative neuromonitoring in paediatric thyroid surgery.

Frontiers in endocrinology
The larynx of children and adolescents is still in the developmental phase and the anatomical structure is still very small and sensitive. The higher malignancy and faster progression of some paediatric thyroid cancers make surgery more difficult. In...

Usefulness of an Artificial Intelligence Model in Recognizing Recurrent Laryngeal Nerves During Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy is a common complication in esophagectomy and its main risk factor is reportedly intraoperative procedure associated with surgeons' experience. We aimed to improve surgeons' recognition of the RLN dur...

Variant anatomy of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve: when and how should it be taught in surgical residency?

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
INTRODUCTION: While the performance of a thyroidectomy is generally associated with a low risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), the presence of a non-recurrent nerve (NRLN) increases the risk of this complication. Generally, the intr...

Learning Curve of Robot-Assisted Lymph Node Dissection of the Left Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Retrospective Study of 417 Patients.

Annals of surgical oncology
OBJECTIVE: Left recurrent laryngeal nerve (no.106recL) lymph node dissection is a challenging procedure, and robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) may have some advantages. This study aimed to determine the learning curve of no.10...

Using deep learning to identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy.

Scientific reports
Surgeons must visually distinguish soft-tissues, such as nerves, from surrounding anatomy to prevent complications and optimize patient outcomes. An accurate nerve segmentation and analysis tool could provide useful insight for surgical decision-maki...

Incidence of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy in Robot-Assisted Versus Conventional Minimally Invasive McKeown Esophagectomy in Prone Position: A Propensity Score-Matched Study.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy is the principal treatment for localized esophageal cancer. Conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) in prone position has spread worldwide as it is less invasive. However, its efficacy rema...

Prevention of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in robotic thyroidectomy: imaging and technique.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this report was to summarize observations, evaluate the feasibility, provide detailed information concerning proper techniques, and address limitations for non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN) dissection and release during th...

Novel "Modified Bascule Method" for Lymphadenectomy Along the Left Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Given the worldwide popularization of conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE), robot-assisted MIE (RAMIE) can be expected to provide a finer procedure. However, controversy remains regarding whether RAMIE is superior to C-MI...
