ABSTRACT
The majority of surgeons view the preliminary identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) as an essential stage in thyroidectomy in order to preserve thyroid integrity. This conviction is based on the fact that the anatomical relations of the recurrent nerve during the cervical tract with adjacent structures are highly variable. The preparation of the RLN in a series of 42 thyroidectomies performed by the 1st Department of Pathological Surgery of the University of Florence confirmed this variability above all with regard to relations with the trachea, Berry's ligament and the branches of the lower thyroid artery. As a result, it is justified to consider the identification and preliminary preparation of the RLN on both sides as a fundamental and unavoidable stage in thyroidectomy.
