We explore the unique characteristics of both of these probes as they relate to intraoperative laryngeal nerve mapping.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010one patients undergoing neuromonitored thyroidectomy by a single surgeon were enrolled. Electromyography (EMG) amplitude and latency measurements were prospectively recorded concurrently from 1\u2009mA stimulation of vagus nerve (VN) and inferior\/superior recurrent laryngeal nerve before (with and without fascia) and after thyroid resection using bipolar and monopolar stimulator probes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Significantly higher amplitudes were obtained with monopolar stimulator probes as compared to bipolar probes, in several stimulation scenarios such as at right VN pre\u2010resection (carotid sheath intact), right VN pre\u2010resection (carotid sheath dissected), right VN post\u2010resection and left VN (carotid sheath dissected).
