Abstract:
Patient who underwent robot-thyroid surgery could undergo postoperative nerve injury. Previous studies applied non-surgical therapy in nerve injury, with steroid injection or nerve block with local anesthetics and showed 5 to 13 months recovery time. In this case, we report successful recovery of spinal accessory nerve palsy after robot assisted thyroidectomy via retroarticular approach by using cervical plexus block. The patient gained full recovery of motor functions within three months.
