dc.description.abstractBackground Motor function of the external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is vital for voice quality. We studied the rate of EBSLN identification and integrity in the era of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). Methods Anatomic and functional identification of 515 EBSLNs-at-risk was performed under the guidance of IONM that motor integrity was electrophysiologically checked. The functional integrity was assessed with crico-thyroid muscle (CTM) twitches and/or recordable waveform amplitude. We tried to establish the systematic classification of EBSLN identification and integrity. Results Visual, electrophysiological and total identification rates were 64.3%, 31.6% and 95.9%, respectively. We could identify 4.1% of EBSLNs neither anatomically nor electrophysiologically. We recorded CTM twitches alone or both CTM twitches and wave amplitude in 203(39.4%) and 291(56.5%) branches respectively. Identification features of EBSLNs were systematically classified under three main types: Visualized-monitored (1), non-visualized-monitored (2), unidentified (3), and electrophysiological integrity of EBSLNs under two subtypes: CTM twitches alone (a) and CTM twitches and wave amplitude (b). Conclusion Dedicated thyroid surgeon could visually identify EBSLNs. IONM contribution significantly increases the identification rate. Systematic classification of identification and electrophysiological integrity of EBSLNs may increase comprehensive knowledge about its motor function that is crucial for complication-free thyroidectomy.en_US
