Monitorización intraoperatoria de los nervios laríngeos superior e inferior en cirugía de tiroides y paratiroides
Palabras clave:
nervio laríngeo recurrente, conducción nerviosa, monitoreo intraoperatorio, tiroidectomía, paratiroidectomíaResumen
La cirugía endocrina, y particularmente la cirugía de tiroides y paratiroides, ha experimentado múltiples cambios desde la década de los años 30 cuando se evidenció la disminución de las parálisis de las cuerdas vocales con la identificación visual del nervio laríngeo recurrente durante la cirugía. Desde entonces, nuestros esfuerzos se han encaminado a lograr una menor incidencia de estas lesiones con múltiples técnicas, siendo la neuromonitorización intraoperatoria una de las herramientas útiles, sobre todo en pacientes con factores de riesgo que tienen mayor probabilidad de lesión durante la cirugía.
Este artículo pretende hacer una revisión del tema y describir la técnica de la monitorización intraoperatoria de los nervios laríngeos.
