Abstract

Background: Since no researche about the anatomy variations of recurrent laryngeal nerve of the Vietnamese has been conducted. Objectives: the aim of this study is to analyse the relationships of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in adult Vietnamese cadavers. Materials and methods: A series of 60 adult cadavers at the Anantomy Department of Ho Chi Minh Medicine and Pharmacy Univercity is the subjects of the case series study. Results: The results indicate that 119 nerves with 59 at right and 60 at left of 39 males and 21 females cadavers. Age average is 70.69 (ranging from 43 to 93). The recurrent totally takes place 100%. The relationships with esophagus and trachea are 73.95% in tracheal esophageal groof, 25.21% beside trachea, 0.84% beside esophagus. The recurrenct laryngeal nerve passes inferior thyroid artery in 42.02% anterior, 39.50% posterior, 17.64% beweent braches, and 0.84% piercing thyroid tissue. Regarding branches it is found that without branches in 82.36%, 1 branches in 15.12% and 2 branches in 2.52%. Conclusion: The anatomy of recurrent laryngeal nerve of Vietnamese cadavers are of great variations.
