Pathophysiology Although a comprehensive discussion of each of the causes is beyond the scope of this article, some principles should be emphasized. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology There are several different mechanisms of nerve injury and means of nerve regrowth (7). [academic.oup.com]

The most important aspect of an effective and safe surgical approach is a vast knowledge of surgical anatomy and pathophysiology in combination with meticulous handling and dissection of tissue. [ispub.com]

One possible pathophysiological explanation regarding this clinical presentation could be the compression of the nerve, specifically the anterior branch of RLN, 45 between an inflated endotracheal tube cuff and the overlying thyroid cartilage, especially [hormones.gr]
