BACKGROUND: The ansa cervicalis is usually used to re-innervate the larynx following recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis in thyroid cancer, oesophageal cancer following lymphadenectomy. Variations have previously been reported on the formation and branching pattern of the ansa cervicalis loop. Objectives: The present study aimed to record anatomical variations of the formation of loop and branches of ansa cervicalis. The study was done in Anatomy depa METHODS: rtment, Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, Assam. 30 numbers (15 cadaver x 2) of ansa cervicalis were studied. A thorough morphological study was done and the results were recorded. RESULTS: Normal anatomy & variations, if any, of the ansa cervicalis were noted and discussed with previous studies. CONCLUSION: Surgical procedures such as thyroplasty, arytenoid adduction, nerve-muscle pedicle implantation had been reported to cause iatrogenic injuries to the ansa cervicalis. Knowledge of the arrangement of loops and branches of the ansa cervicalis will be helpful for planning a safe surgery in the neck region.

Post Operative Complications

Background: Thyroid swelling is one of the most common complaint of patients presenting to the surgery OPD. Depending on the diagnosis, while some of the patients are started on medical treatment, some patients undergo surgical treatment. The type of surgery performed varies depending on the diagnosis. While post operative complications are rare in the hands of experienced surgeons, they may cause considerable morbidity if the occur. However, most of the complications are manageable. Aim: To study the post operative complications of thyroid surgeries and their management. Material and Method: The study material consisted of 100 patients with thyroid swelling who underwent elective thyroidectomy at Department of General Surgery in Narayana General Hospital attached to Narayana Medical College, Nellore. Results: In this study post operative hypocalcaemia, temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and airway obstruction were noticed and they were successfully managed.
