TL;DR: A review of the literature and cumulative experience of the multidisciplinary International Neural Monitoring Study Group with IONM spanning nearly 15 years confirms there is little uniformity in application of and results from nerve monitoring across different centers and helps identify areas where additional research is necessary.

TL;DR: The importance of preoperative diagnosis of invasive disease in operative planning and patient counseling, and the importance of vocal cord functional analysis in recurrent laryngeal nerve management algorithms for nerves found infiltrated at operation, and laryngoscopic examination is recommended for all patients undergoing thyroid operation.

TL;DR: Electrophysiologic parameters of continuous vagal monitoring are reported, utilizing a novel real‐time IONM format, and relate these parameters to intraoperative surgical maneuvers that delineate nascent adverse but reversible electrophysiological parameters to prevent nerve injury.

TL;DR: This publication offers modern, state‐of‐the‐art International Neural Monitoring Study Group guidelines based on a detailed review of the recent monitoring literature, designed to reduce technique variations, enhance the quality of neural monitoring, and assist surgeons in the clinical decision‐making process involved in surgical management of recurrent laryngeal nerve.

TL;DR: To study the diagnostic accuracy of physical examination, ultrasonography, contrastenhanced computed tomography, and in preoperative detection of macroscopic nodal metastasis in primary/recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma patients to determine if the routine addition of CT would be beneficial in accurate preoperative lymph‐node surgery planning.
