Nine patients (9.5 %) were diagnosed with postoperative VCP using DFL of these cases 2 were not completely resolved at 3\u00a0months postoperatively. Three cases of VCP (33 %) were diagnosed using TLUS. TLUS had a sensitivity of 33 % and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95 % for the diagnosis of postoperative VCP. Vocal cords (VC) were unassessable in 27.2 % of patients. Unassessable VC were significantly associated with male gender (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001), age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001), weight (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), operating time (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.032), postoperative drainage (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001), and thyroid weight (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). Independent risk factors in the multivariate analysis were male gender (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001) and age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001). In the group of women under 50\u2010year old, TLUS had a sensitivity of 50 % and a NPV of 97.4 %.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>TLUS sensitivity is insufficient in early postoperative screening of VCP after thyroid surgery.
