Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Monitoring

The authors herewith present a case of a non-conventional use of endotracheal tube-based IONM in a second-stage total thyroidectomy for metastatic papillary cancer incidentally detected after OPHL Type IIa + ary left for SCC. The use of the IONM in such case was effective avoiding the RLN accidental injury.
