Resumen
Introducción: La preservación del nervio laríngeo recurrente es uno de los retos más grandes en la cirugía tiroidea. Este estudio buscó determinar si el desarrollo de una lesión en el lado inicial durante una tiroidectomía modifica la extensión tiroidea planificada al lado contralateral. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo y retrospectivo con una cohorte de 88 pacientes del centro de Tiroides y Paratiroides, a los cuales se les realizaron 48 tiroidectomías y 40 lobectomías, procedimientos durante los cuales hubo 136 nervios en riesgo identificados por neuromonitorización. Resultados: Se documentaron 10 pérdidas de señal verdaderas, en las cuales no se modificó la extensión de la resección tiroidea planificada debido a enfermedad carcinomatosa extensa. Conclusión: El uso rutinario de neuromonitorización ayuda en la identificación del nervio laríngeo recurrente y permite conocer su funcionamiento postoperatorio. Al haber pérdida de señal en el lado inicial, cuando sea posible, posponer la resección del lóbulo contralateral evitará lesiones nerviosas bilaterales.
