There are many methods to perform nerve monitoring including electromyography tube electrode, needle electrode, and skin electrode. However, using needles during thyroid surgery may lead to bleeding or unexpected injury. Herein, effectiveness and safety of skin electrode neuromonitoring and literature is reviewed.
