| Abstract: | PurposesCernea classification is applied to describe the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN). Using intraoperative neural monitoring we evaluated whether or not this classification is useful for predicting which EBSLN subtype has an increased risk of injury.MethodsAn analysis of 400 EBSLN. The identification of EBSLN was achieved with both cricothyroid muscle twitch and the glottis evoked electromyography response. We defined S1 initial EBSLN stimulation at identification and S2 final nerve stimulation achieved in the most cranial aspect of the nerve exposed above the area of surgical dissection after superior artery ligation.ResultsThe mean S1 amplitude acquired was 259+/67 (180–421), 321 +/79 (192–391), 371 +/38 (200–551) μV, respectively, for type 1, 2A, 2B (p = 0.08). The S1 and S2 amplitudes were similar in type 1 (p = 0.3). The S1 and S2 determinations changed significantly in type 2A and 2B (p = 0.04 and 0.03). EBSLN which demonstrated a >25 % decreased amplitude in S2 increased significantly from Type 1 (4.9 %) to Type 2A (11.2 %) and 2B (18 %) (p = 0.01). None of type 1, 2.8 % type 2A and 3 % type 2B showed a loss of EBSLN conductivity. The latency determinations did not vary significantly for any parameter compared.ConclusionsThe Cernea classification was, therefore, found to predict the risk of EBSLN stress. We identified amplitude differences between S1 and S2 determinations in type 2A and 2B, thus confirming that surgical dissection in these subtypes is, therefore, extremely difficult to perform. |
