Progress and Outcomes of Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring During Thyroidectomy
This cohort study found that IONM during thyroidectomy has become routine, and use has increased over the last 7 years. IONM was associated with a slightly decreased odds of RLN injury, but no difference in hypocalcemia or neck hematoma. Although IONM use is widespread, further research is needed to identify patients who would benefit the most from this technology.
