New Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring Device

Evaluation of the Usability and Safety of the Newly Developed Piezoelectric Sensor Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring Device in Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery: A Pilot Study

This study is testing a new device developed to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which is at risk of damage during thyroid and parathyroid surgeries.

This study is testing a new device developed to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which is at risk of damage during thyroid and parathyroid surgeries. Such devices are still used in surgical routine, but research has been initiated on this subject due to the higher sensitivity and reliability of this new device.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 18-70, diagnosis of benign/malignant thyroid disease, informed consent
