Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Recurrent nerve palsy is a complication of thyroidectomy. Most surgeons want to visualize the vocal cords after tyroidectomy. The aim is to compare the direct laringoscopy, videolaringoscopy, fiberoptic laringoscopy and ultrasonography methods in terms of efficacy, duration and hemodynamic responses during the procedure.
