Definitive RLN palsy was experienced in 0.78% of all cases (8\/1023), while transient paresis was encountered in 1.2% (12\/1023). Only a moderately strong stochastic correlation could be found between RLN palsies and those nerves which were nonpalpable and atypical, which showed the joint occurrence of being both thinner than normal and branching already before the plane of the inferior thyroid artery (Cramer's associate coefficient, <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic> = 0.383).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Palpation alone cannot substitute visualization and proper surgical dissection of the nerve. \u00a9 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
