ABSTRACT This is the second of two articles on intraoperative neural monitoring. The aim of part one was to provide a concise overview of intraoperative nerve monitoring in thyroid surgery and its effectiveness. Part 1 included a brief review of the surgical anatomy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and described the surgical landmarks which can be used to identify the nerve during surgery. Part 2 will describe in detail a standardized approach to intraoperative nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery. A brief review of the nerve monitoring procedure and all its requirements will be discussed. The article concludes with the description of a troubleshooting algorithm for intraoperative loss of signal.
