Topic overview
Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a common complication in cervical, thoracic, and cardiac surgeries for both adults and children. Initially described in thyroid and parathyroid surgeries, RLN injury is now well-documented in thoracic procedures, including esophageal, pulmonary, and cardiovascular surgeries [1, 2, 3]. The incidence of RLN injury varies by surgery type and patient characteristics.
