Abstract
In this study, we aimed to report our experience with the use of intraoperative transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography (TLUSG) to evaluate the vocal cord twitch response during predissection vagus nerve stimulation in thyroid surgeries and examine the reliability of this technique when compared with that of laryngeal twitch palpation (LTP).
