Article Title: Surgical management of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroidectomy: American Head and Neck Society Consensus Statement
Abstract: quot;I have noticed in operations of this kind, which I have seen performed by others upon the living, and in a number of excisions, which I have myself performed on the dead body, that most of the difficulty in the separation of the tumor has occurred in the region of these ligaments.... This difficulty, I believe, to be a very frequent source of that accident, which so commonly occurs in removal of goiter, I mean division of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.quot; Sir James Berry (1887).
