Popis: Purpose Thyroid reoperations are at a high risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can aid in the RLN identification and minimize the risk of its injury, in comparison with visual RLN identification. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent thyroid reoperations with and without the use of IONM. Primary endpoint was the RLN identification rate; secondary: the prevalence of RLN injury, the frequency of total thyroidectomies, and the course of the RLN. Results The study involved 61 patients undergoing thyroid reoperation among whom 24 were operated on with visual RLN identification only, while 37 procedures used IONM. In the non-monitored reoperations, 44.4% of the RLN were visually identified, as opposed to 91.6% in the IONM group (p
