| Sumario: | Among the diverse complications ofthyroidectomy, it is mostly the cordal sequels from the recurrent laryngeal nerve damage. This is why anatomical and surgical considerations are made upon the vulnerable areas of this nerve and the circunstances inwhich it is damaged. The relationship between the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the inferior thyroid artery, location most frequently injured, wasinvestigated on 55 adult formolated cadavers. It was found that on the right side in 54.5 % the nerve passes behind the artery, in 38.1 % it passes in front of it, and between its terminal branches in 7.2%.Regarding the left side, in 67.2 % the nerve passes behind (he artery, in 27.2 % it does so in front of it, and in 5.4 % between its terminal branches; being the right nerve more anterior an lateral ;han the left one which would possibly explain the higher index of nervous damage on this side. |
