Vagus nerve/recurrent laryngeal nerve ratio: proposal of a new parameter predicting left vocal cord palsy using intraoperative nerve monitoring during esophagectomy
Using intermittent IONM, the V/R ratio with a cutoff value of 0.50 has the potential to be a more useful parameter for prediction of VCP after esophagectomy than EMG amplitude during VN stimulation.
