Repair of the recurrent laryngeal nerve
Abstract
Surgical repair and reconstruction of the injured recurrent laryngeal nerve are discussed. Tips to avoid inadvertent nerve injury are noted, as are aspects of non-recurring recurrent laryngeal nerves. The controversy regarding recurrent laryngeal nerve anastomosis is updated, and a protocol for management of the injured recurrent laryngeal nerve is presented.
