Background: The aim of this study is to describe the management and associated follow-up strategies adopted by thyroid surgeons with different surgical volumes when loss of signal (LOS) occurred on the first side of planned bilateral thyroid surgery, and to further define the consensus on intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) applications. Methods: The International Neural Monitoring Study Group (INMSG) web-based survey was sent to 950 thyroid surgeons worldwide. The survey included information on the participants, IONM team/equipment/procedure, intraoperative/postoperative management of LOS, and management of LOS on the first side of thyroidectomy for benign and malignant disease. Results: Out of 950, 318 (33.5%) respondents completed the survey. Subgroup analyses were performed based on thyroid surgery volume: <50 cases/year (n = 108, 34%); 50 to 100 cases/year (n = 69, 22%); and >100 cases/year (n = 141, 44.3%). High-volume surgeons were significantly (P <.05) more likely to perform the standard procedures (L1-V1-R1-S1-S2-R2-V2-L2), to differentiate true/false LOS, and to verify the LOS lesion/injury type. When LOS occurs, most surgeons arrange otolaryngologists or speech consultation. When first-side LOS occurs, not all respondents decided to perform stage contralateral surgery, especially for malignant patients with severe disease (eg, extrathyroid invasion and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer). Conclusions: Respondents felt that IONM was optimized when conducted under a collaborative team-based approach, and completed IONM standard procedures and management algorithm for LOS, especially those with high volume. In cases of first-site LOS, surgeons can determine the optimal management of disease-related, patient-related, and surgical factors. Surgeons need additional education on LOS management standards and guidelines to master their decision-making process involving the application of IONM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
