Neural Autofluorescence Enhances Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Detection in Thyroid Surgery

November 18, 2025

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a common and serious complication of thyroidectomy. Listen to Julio Aleman, MD, discuss his recent JÎÚÑ»´«Ã½article, which evaluates the sensitivity and specificity of nerve autofluorescence using near-ultraviolet (NUV) light for RLN identification during thyroidectomy. The study found that NUV light-based nerve autofluorescence offers high sensitivity and specificity for RLN identification during thyroidectomy, outperforming traditional methods.
