Injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during thyroidectomy results in lowered fundamental frequency of the voice and worsened voice performance in producing high-frequency sounds. It remains unclear if use of intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) can improve clinical outcome of thyroidectomy in terms of preserved individual voice performance. This study was designed to test that hypothesis.
