Abstract
We report our experience of using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in 13 consecutive patients undergoing thyroid surgery and discuss the advantages and limitations of the technique. We also describe a method, based on the use of the LMA, for identifying and preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery.Entities:
