ABSTRACT
From 1964 to 1977, over 400 carotid endarterectomies were performed at the Rochester General Hospital. Two patients from this group experienced hoarseness secondary to vocal cord paralysis on the operated side, believed due to trauma to the vagus nerve. Although uncommon, it is important to stress the method of avoiding this complication.
