Though permanent vocal cord palsy consequent to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is rare following thyroidectomies, its consequences are grave enough for it to be the most feared complication postoperatively. Anesthesiologists and surgeons take various precautions to prevent its occurrence and employ various methods for its early detection. They include direct visualization of the nerve intraoperatively, use of intraoperative nerve monitoring, and post-extubation visualization of vocal cord mobility by use of direct or indirect methods. In the present narrative review, we aim to discuss the clinical evidence pertaining to the various methods adopted for the prevention and early detection of RLN palsy during thyroidectomy.

“…Recently, Elbeialy et al . [ 34 ] concluded GlideScope to have higher diagnostic accuracy (94.2%) for detecting vocal cord disfunction than Macintosh laryngoscope with 86.7% sensitivity and 95.2% specificity. The CL score was found to be significantly better with GlideScope than by direct laryngoscopy.…”
