Abstract

Abstract:

In order to reduce intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, intraoperative neural monitoring(IONM) is widely used in thyroid-related surgery, especially in reoperations. However, some incidental injuries have also been observed during IONM. This article reported a case suffered skin thermal injury at the site of hypodermic needle electrode placement during IONM in Shanghai International Medical Center. Combining relevant adverse event information and analyzing the causes was essential to understand and prevent potential risks, and prioritize patient safety.

Key words: Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM), Hypodermic needle electrode, Thermal injury, Thyroid surgery
