Abstract:Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is one of the common complications of thyroid surgery. The reconstruction of the recurrent laryngeal nerve function requires appropriate materials, corresponding nerve anastomosis techniques, and modern microsurgical techniques to achieve reinnervation of the internal laryngeal muscles, thus promoting the recovery of physiological function of the larynx. Successful reconstruction of recurrent laryngeal nerve function is closely related to multiple factors and processes. The review summarizes the latest advances in the methods and materials for reconstruction of recurrent laryngeal nerve function, so as to provide a theoretical basis for better strategies for functional reconstruction of the injured recurrent laryngeal nerve.
