Trifurcation of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Case Report
Öz: Nowadays, thyroidectomy is a frequently performed type ofsurgery. Although thyroid operations are generally performedwithout complications, there may be many anatomic variation andcomplications related with them. Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)paralysis is a frightening complication of thyroid surgery. For preventingthis complication, having a good knowledge and experience aboutthis small anatomic region is necessary. In this paper, we present acase of RLN variation identified in a 36-year-old female patient withmultinodular goiter. Thyroidectomy was decided after examinationsperformed due to palpable swelling in the neck, then, three-branchedleft RLN was found after proper dissection and preserved duringthyroidectomy operation. No complication was observed in the postoperativeperiod and the patient was discharged next day.

Üç Dallı Rekürren Laringeal Sinir: Bir Olgu Sunumu
Öz: Tiroidektomi günümüzde sık olarak uygulanan bir ameliyat çeşididir. Tiroidektomi operasyonları genel olarak komplikasyonsuz sonlanmakla beraber birçok anatomik varyasyon ve bunların neden olduğu komplikasyonlar ile karşılaşılabilir. Rekürren laringeal sinir (RLS) felci tiroid cerrahisinin korkutucu bir komplikasyonudur. Bu komplikasyondan kaçınmak için çok çeşitli varyasyonları içinde bulunduran bu küçük anatomik bölgeye hakim olmak ve yeterli tecrübeye sahip olmak gerekir. Biz bu yazıda 36 yaşında multinodüler guatrlı bir kadın hastada tespit edilen RLS varyasyonunu takdim ettik. Bahsedilen hastada boyunda ele gelen şişlik sonrası yapılan tetkikler neticesinde tiroidektomi kararı verildi ve tiroidektomi operasyonu sırasında tespit edilen üç dallı sol RLS uygun diseksiyon ile bulundu ve korundu. Postoperatif dönemde hastanın komplikasyonu olmadı ve ertesi gün taburcu edildi.
