The prevalence of transient RLN paresis was lower in patients who had RLN monitoring by 2\u00b79 per cent in high-risk patients (P = 0\u00b7011) and 0\u00b79 per cent in low-risk patients (P = 0\u00b7249). The negative and positive predictive values of RLN monitoring in predicting postoperative vocal cord function were 98\u00b79 and 37\u00b78 per cent respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Nerve monitoring decreased the incidence of transient but not permanent RLN paresis compared with visualization alone, particularly in high-risk patients.
