Abstract

Aim: Thyroid surgery needs a perfect knowledge of the anatomy of the neck and notably its anatomic variations. Damage to the recurrent larengeal nevre (RLN) is the complication most feared by both patient and surgeon. In this study we aimed to assess the relationships between the inferior laryngeal nevre (ILN) and the inferior thyroid artery. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in 100 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between August 2009 and September 2010. The relationships between the inferior laryngeal nevre (ILN) and inferior thyroid artery were documented. Results: The relationships between the RLN and the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) on both sides were as follows: 17 nerves (19.5%) followed a course anterior to the right ITA; 62 nerves (71.3%) posterior to the right ITA and 8 nerves (9.2%) ran a course between the branches of the right thyroid artery; 16 nerves (18%) followed a course anteror to the left ITA; 62 nerves (69.7%) posterior to the left ITA; and 11 nerves (12.3%) ran a course between the branches of the left ITA. No non-recurrent laryngeal nerve was identified. There were clinically no ILN injury in this series. Achieving a safe and effective operation on the thyroid gland is the goal of all surgeons. Conclusion: In thyroid surgery, avoiding any injury to the nerve demands a thorough knowledge of all types of relationships between both the RLNs and the ITAs and their branches.

Özet

Amaç: Tiroid cerrahisinde boyun anatomisinin özellikle de anatomik varyasyonlarının çok iyi bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Rekürren larengeal sinir (RLS) hasarı hem hastayı hem de cerrahı korkutan önemli bir komplikasyondur. Çalışmamızda inferior larengeal sinirle inferior tiroid arter arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmaya Ağustos 2009 ve Eylül 2010 tarihleri arasında tiroidektomi yapılan 100 hasta alındı. İnferior larengeal sinirle inferior tiroid arter arasındaki ilişki kaydedildi. Bulgular: Sağ taraftaki RLS’lerin 17’si (%19,5) inferior tiroid arterin (ITA) önünde, 62’si (%71,3) ITA’nın arkasında ve 8’i (%9,2) ITA’nın dalları arasında seyrediyordu. Sol tarafta ise RLS’lerin 16’sı (%18) ITA’nın önünde, 62’si (%69,7) ITA’nın arkasında ve 11’i (%12,3) ITA’nın dalları arasında seyrediyordu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda non-rekürren sinire hiç rastlamadık. Hastaların hiçbirinde RLS hasarı oluşmadı. Tiroid cerrahisi yapan tüm cerrahların amacı, güvenli ve etkin bir cerrahi yapmaktır. Tiroid cerrahisi sırasında RLS hasarının oluşmaması için, RLS, ITA ve bunların bilinen tüm dalları arasındaki ilişkiler bilinmelidir.
