Aim: Thyroid gland surgery has possible serious complications. Advancements in technology have led to improvements in complications but significant challenges in airway and voice security still remain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the voice quality following total thyroidectomy under neuromonitorization and effect of intraoperative neuromonitorization (IONM) for identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN).
