The objective of this course is to highlight the current role and limitations of neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery. Role of intermittent nerve monitoring for identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve anatomical variations, prognostication of postoperative nerve function, staging of bilateral surgeries to avoid bilateral vocal paralysis and tracheotomy; as well as the added value of continous nerve monitoring for preventing nerve injury will be discussed briefly. The topics will be covered through a combination of case presentations and current literature.

Global Perspectives on the Management of Thyroid Malignancies and Local Practices will be discussed.
