NCT ID: NCT03634956 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Vocal Cord Paralysis

Effect of IONM on Efficacy and Safety Using Sugammadex in Thyroid Surgery

Start date: August 14, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thyroidectomy is a frequently performed surgeon by the head and neck and endocrine surgeons. In recent years, surgical techniques and technological developments have resulted in a significant reduction in complication rates. Despite these advances, there is still a great deal of anxiety about the sound problems that can be experienced in patients after surgery. In the past years,the investigators have tried to prevent recurrent nerve paralysis by using intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). The use of IONM has begun to be preferred by many surgeons in the investigator's country. However, the use of IONM decreases the number of recurrent nerve paralysis are still being discussed and many studies have been done. In this study, it is aimed to prevent the formation of recurrent nerve paralysis in order to safely carry out the IONM by removing the effects of neuromuscular blockade drugs using sugammadex sodium medicine in the thyroidectomy operations.

NCT ID: NCT02886481 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

Electrophysiologic Study of Perioperative Monitoring of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: Impaired Vocal Cord Movement After Thyroidectomy

NERLICORDE
Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Paralysis of the recurrent (or inferior) laryngeal nerve (RLN or ILN) is one of the most common and most serious complications of thyroid surgery. Neuromonitoring of the inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN or recurrent) is a technique currently used during thyroidectomy to locate ILN during dissection. Detector electrodes are placed in contact with vocal muscle which is stimulated electrically at the location of ILN, producing an acoustic and visual signal. This is a basic electromyographic technique whose diagnostic and prognostic potential for the entire neuromuscular system has not yet been fully explored. The study of action potentials generated by the stimulation-detection of nerves ILN and vagal nerves at the beginning and end of dissection, notably the decrease in amplitude, could allow a diagnosis during the course of surgery making it possible to diagnose lesions of the nerve and guide the surgeon in his surgical decisions, thus avoiding the risk of bilateral recurrent paralysis. It could also enable the surgeon to give a prognosis for functional recovery.
