ABSTRACT
The recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is the most important complication in thyroid surgery. It seems to be possible to reduce the rate of palsies by consequently identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve. A comparison of statistics out of the literature with and without identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve shows this. A follow-up of our patients of the years 1980-1982 (1312 operations) confirms this finding.
