Abstract

Intraoperative neuromonitoring during thyroid surgery has been popularized recently. The majority of this technique represented the direct stimulation to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, so called intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (I-IONM). However, continuous monitoring via vagus nerve (C-IONM) was considered more ideal, and has been reported to have more advantage than I-IONM because C-IONM allows the real-time detection of signal changes and prevents the nerve injury before the event. Here, the author reviewed the usefulness of C-IONM.
