Abstract
Introduction: Among the specific complications of operations on the organs of the neck, the main place is occupied by a violation of the mobility of the vocal cords. Thanks to the introduction of non-invasive methods for recording a signal from the vocal folds using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), it became possible to assess the preservation of the laryngeal nerves, to avoid the development of bilateral paresis of the vocal cords, by assessing the preservation of nerves during the operation. Objective: to develop a methodology for the implementation of intraoperative neuromonitoring during video endosurgical operations on thyroid gland. Materials and methods: On the basis of the surgical department No. 1 of the Central Clinical Hospital, Administrative departments of the President of the Russian Federation, Clinic of Faculty Surgery and Oncology, Saratov State Medical University V.I. Razumovsky” during May 2013-April 2020, 412 patients with various pathologies of the thyroid glands underwent videoendosurgical interventions. Results: We performed the following surgical interventions for thyroidectomy - 112, hemithyroidectomy - 145, subtotal resection - 47 cases. The volume of the thyroid gland was from 17 to 200 ml. At the same time, we try to adhere to a certain algorithm of actions, taking into account the fact that during the operation, irritation of the laryngeal nerves can cause a variety of problems that will give an incorrect answer to these reasons: anesthesiology factors, incorrect operation of the active electrode, technical errors of the operation itself. Conclusions: Intraoperative neuromonitoring for videoendoscopic interventions provides the ability to visualize all anatomical structures incomparable with open operations, reduces the risks of trauma to the laryngeal nerves, allows you to monitor the signal in real time, improves the quality of intraoperative navigation and the safety of surgical intervention.
