ABSTRACT Aim: As technology progresses further in medicine, intraoperative neuro-monitorization has become a powerful safety tool especially for thyroid surgeries. The effectiveness of intermittent or continuous intraoperative nerve monitorization (IONM) on reducing recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy has been a highly debated issue to ensure that RLN does not get damaged regardless of the surgeon's experience level. In this prospective study we compared continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring (C-IONM) with intermittent intraoperative nerve monitoring (I-IONM) for prevention of iatrogenic RLN palsy due thyroidectomy.
