Constructing a training course for intraoperative neuromonitoring during thyroidectomy

Hyoung Shin Lee

Abstract

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) for the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy may be helpful to identify and preserve the nerves and let the surgeon predict the postoperative neural function. International Neural Monitoring Study Group (INMSG) recently presented the recommended training course for IONM during thyroidectomy. Based on such training course provided by an expert group, trainees may conduct standardized IONM and experience the technique's advantages. This review article presents the recommended guidelines to prepare for a training course in IONM during thyroidectomy.

Key Words: Thyroidectomy, Intraoperative neuromonitoring, Recurrent laryngeal nerve
