Abstract
During the performance of 2101 thyroid operations, 3496 recurrent laryngeal nerves were identified and exposed. Of the 1776 visualized nerves on the right side, 6 were found to be non-recurrent. A brief survey of the literature relevant to this anatomical abnormality is included, and its importance in the performance of thyroid surgery is emphasized.Keywords
