Late‐onset palsy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve after thyroid surgery

A small subset of patients may develop late‐onset palsy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) after thyroid surgery. However, no conclusive data have been published regarding the incidence of, and possible risk factors for, this complication.
