BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, and spontaneous recovery rate of vocal fold paresis (VFP) with routine laryngoscopy before and after thyroid surgery.
METHODS: All consecutive patients undergoing primary or redo thyroid surgery between years 2011-2016 were prospectively registered in an electronic database, and scheduled for pre- and postoperative laryngoscopic vocal fold inspection by otolaryngologists independently of the surgical team.
RESULTS: A total of 920 thyroid operations with 1296 nerves at risk were performed in 866 patients. Pre- and postoperative laryngoscopy was done in 95% and 98%, respectively. Preoperative VFP was detected in 24 (2.8%) patients. New postoperative VFP was found in 53 of 920 operations (5.8%) and in 55 of 1296 nerves at risk (4.2%). After 12 months, 14 had recovered full vocal fold function and eight had near-complete recovery. VFP was permanent after 29 operations (3.2%); two patients were lost to follow-up with uncertain outcome. Of the 1296 nerves at risk, injury was permanent in 30 (2.3%). In multivariate analysis, patients operated for recurrent goiter had nearly nine times higher risk of new VFP (23% rate), whereas patients with malignant histology had three times higher risk of postoperative VFP (up to 22% rate).
CONCLUSION: VFP continues to be a serious complication of thyroid surgery, especially in operations for redo goiter and thyroid malignancy. The incidence of VFP may be underestimated unless laryngoscopic examinations are performed routinely.
