Aim: Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) during thyroid surgery has been widely accepted as an additive improvement to the gold standard of visually identifying the RLN. This study aims to evaluate the role of IONM application in thyroid surgery education during general surgery residency.
Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent total thyroidectomy between January 2012 and December 2019 were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the use of IONM (Group 1: With IONM, Group 2: Without IONM). These groups were also divided into subgroups as assistants and experts among themselves.
Results: This study involved 256 patients. There were 116 patients in group 1, and 140 patients in group 2. Histologic analysis results revealed that IONM was used more frequently in patients with a
malignancy (p=0.015). The median operative time was significantly longer when IONM was used, with an operative time of 130 minutes for group 1 and 120 minutes for group 2 (p=0.015). When Group 1B and Group 2B were compared among themselves, the median operation time in Group 1B was 130 minutes, and the median operation time in Group 2B was 125 minutes (p=0.026). In the comparison between Groups 1B and 2B, it was detected that the rate of use of IONM was higher in malignancies
(p=0.025).
Conclusion: According to our results, the use of IONM did not reduce the incidence of RLN paralysis in thyroidectomy performed by specialists and residents.

Amaç: Tiroid cerrahisi sırasında intraoperatif sinir monitörizasyonu (İONM), rekürren laringeal siniri (RLS) görsel olarak tanımlamanın altın standardına ilave bir gelişme olarak geniş çapta kabul
görmüştür. Bu çalışma, genel cerrahi ihtisası sırasında tiroid cerrahisi eğitiminde İONM uygulamasının rolünü değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2012-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında total tiroidektomi yapılan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar İONM kullanımına göre 2 gruba ayrıldı (Grup 1: İONM'li, Grup 2: İONM'siz). Bu gruplar da kendi aralarında asistan ve uzman olarak alt gruplara ayrılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya 256 hasta dahil edildi. Grup 1'de 116, grup 2'de 140 hasta vardı. Histolojik analiz sonuçları İONM'nin malignitesi olan hastalarda daha sık kullanıldığını gösterdi (p=0.015). Grup 1 için 130 dakika ve grup 2 için 120 dakika operasyon süresi ile IONM kullanıldığında medyan operasyon süresi anlamlı olarak daha uzundu (p=0.015). Grup 1B ve Grup 2B kendi aralarında
karşılaştırıldığında Grup 1B'de ortanca ameliyat süresi 130 dakika, Grup 2B'de ortanca ameliyat süresi 125 dakika idi (p=0.026). Grup 1B ve 2B karşılaştırmasında malignitelerde İONM kullanım oranının
daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p=0.025).
Sonuç: Sonuçlarımıza göre uzman ve asistanlar tarafından yapılan tiroidektomilerde İONM kullanımı
RLS paralizi insidansını azaltmamıştır.
