Surgical Anatomy of Recurrent laryngeal nerve for Thyroid gland surgeries

Notes for the lecture in form of handouts and related MCQs are available on the website : www.vbanatomy.com

In this video, we provide an in-depth exploration of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), with a specific focus on its importance in thyroid gland surgeries. The video begins with the explanation of the RLN’s development in relation to the aortic arches, which is crucial for understanding its unique anatomical course.
We cover the RLN's positioning in the trachea-esophageal groove and its relationship to the thyroid gland, comparing the right and left RLNs and their unique course. The video also delves into the rare non-recurrent laryngeal nerve and arteria lusoria, and discusses the surgical approach to these nerves. Additionally, we examine the RLN's relationship to the inferior thyroid artery, surrounding lymph nodes, and the Zuckerkandl tubercle, all of which are vital for preventing nerve injury during surgery.
For a broader understanding of the anatomy involved in thyroid surgeries, don’t miss our main video on this topic. It’s an essential resource for mastering the surgical anatomy of the thyroid gland.
