GlideScope® Versus Macintosh Laryngoscope for Post-thyroidectomy Assessment of Vocal Cord Mobility

February 6, 2019 updated by: Marwa Ahmed Khairy Elbeialy, Ain Shams University

Vocal cord dysfunction is a serious post-thyroidectomy complication. This can lead to various postoperative clinical consequences as hoarseness of voice, aspiration or stridor . It is also one of the common reasons for post-thyroidectomy malpractice claims.

This study will compare GlideScope® with Macintosh laryngoscope regarding accuracy of assessment of post-thyroidectomy vocal cord mobility.
