Reality of Zuckerkandl tubercle and relationship with other anatomical variations
TZ is not rare and can be observed in 41.1% of thyroid lobes. It should be noted that the likelihood of RLN entrapment in the Berry region is higher in categories 2 and 3. Therefore, performing TZ dissection without applying traction to the thyroid lobe and mapping RLN could contribute to better RLN preservation.
