[A case of successful neurolysis of both recurrent laryngeal nerves following thyroidectomy (author's transl)].
A case of successful bilateral decompression of both recurrent laryngeal nerves two days following thyroidectomy (with injury to the nerves) is reported. The ideal time for surgical intervention in such cases is discussed. Electrodiagnostic tests for objective documentation of nerve injury are mentioned. The authors believe that the recurrent laryngeal nerves should be explored in comparable patients when tracheostomy is indicated for protection of the airway.
