摘要
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy is a recognised complication of anterior cervical discectomy (ACD) surgery. We report our experience of intra-operative neuromonitoring using RLN stimulation in 19 patients undergoing ACD surgery. This simple and safe technique has the potential to reduce the incidence of RLN palsy in this patient group.</.
