Dissection device, side of primary, FEV1, operative time and BMI were independent predictors of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) (hazard ratio (HR)\u2009=\u20093.576, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.490\u20138.583, P\u2009=\u20090.004; HR\u2009=\u20090.175, 95% CI: 0.072\u20130.424, P\u2009=\u2009\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; HR\u2009=\u20093.008, 95% CI: 1.30\u20136.927, P\u2009=\u20090.010; HR\u2009=\u20090.328, 95% CI: 0.136\u20130.794, P\u2009=\u20090.013; HR\u2009=\u20090.344, 95%CI: 0.147\u20130.801, P\u2009=\u20090.013, respectively). Patients in the non-energy-device group had significantly less RLNI than the energy-device group (P\u2009=\u20090.016) and nearly half of the non-thermal RLNI recovered in 2 weeks (P\u2009=\u20090.025) whereas most thermal RLNI required 3 months for recovery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Every station of RLNLN had some degree of cancer metastasis in NSCLC patients and when dissecting RLNLNs, dissection device was an independent and artificially controlled predictor of RLNI.
