The primary outcome was successful ventilation with RLN monitoring. Secondary outcomes included diagnostic performance of visual RLN monitoring (vocal cord movement upon stimulation) and perioperative respiratory adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Effective ventilation with RLN monitoring was achieved in 98 of 104 patients (94.2%). Six patients (5.8%) required conversion to endotracheal intubation with only 2 (1.9%) occurring during surgery. Among 137 monitored RLNs, loss of signal occurred in 7 (5.1%) and correlated with transient postoperative vocal fold palsy; observed sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were 100% (95% CIs wide due to few events). Transient ventilatory disturbances occurred in 21.2% (elevated airway pressure), 8.7% (reflex laryngospasm), and 1.9% (transient air leakage) on ITT analysis (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009104), all resolved with simple measures. Postoperative throat pain and odynophagia were mild and resolved within 1\u2009week in most patients.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this exploratory feasibility study, the VFLMA enabled direct visual RLN monitoring during thyroid surgery with an acceptable ventilation success rate.
