Recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring by flexible laryngoscopy during thyroid radiofrequency ablation in the awake patient
During bilateral thyroid RFA the use of FL for VC monitoring treatment resulted in a safe, easy-to-perform, and effective strategy to minimize and anticipate RLN injury risk in the awake patient. The prevention of RLN damage is advisable in the case of single RFA treatment, while it should be strongly recommended when RFA is performed on bilateral nodules.
