Recomendaciones sobre el uso de la neuromonitorización en cirugía de tiroides y paratiroides

IONM helps in the location and identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, helps during its dissection, reports on its functional status at the end of surgery and enables decision-making in the event of loss of signal in the first operated side in a scheduled bilateral thyroidectomy or previous contralateral paralysis. The accuracy of IONM depends on variables such as accomplished technique, technology and training in the correct execution of the technique and interpretation of the signal. This document is a starting point for future agreements on TPTS in each of the sections of consensus.
