Abstract    Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is one of the most common complications of thyroid surgery and can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. However，recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is not only related to intraoperative maneuvers.A review of the literatures found that there are many factors related to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid surgery，including anatomy of the nerve，characteristics of cases，perioperative assessment，intraoperative procedures，extent of surgery，application of energy devices，and application of IONM technology.    Adhering to adequate preoperative evaluation，establishing a reasonable surgical plan and extent of resection，intraoperative meticulous membrane dissection，proper and rational application of energy devices，and standardized use of IONM technology can minimize recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and improve postoperative patient quality of life.

Key words: thyroid surgery, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, influence factor

摘要：

喉返神经损伤是甲状腺手术的常见并发症之一，会严重影响病人的生活质量。但喉返神经损伤并非仅与术中操作有关。其影响因素很多，涉及解剖、病例特点、围手术期评估、术中操作、手术范围、能量器械应用、术中神经监测技术（IONM）应用等。坚持充分的术前评估、制定合理的手术计划和切除范围、术中精细被膜解剖、正确合理应用能量器械、规范使用IONM，能够最大程度减少喉返神经损伤，提高病人术后生活质量。
