Core Tip	As recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is one of the most common causes of medicolegal litigation after thyroid and parathyroid surgery, securing the nerve is an increasing demand in these surgeries. Although visual identification has been used as the gold standard and had been proved to reduce the rate of laryngeal nerves injury, intertwining with inferior thyroid vessels and unusual course of the nerve may be challenging. Neromonitoring has been introduced as a novel technique to help identifying the nerve and prevent misidentification of any cord-like structure as a nerve, the thing that can reduce rate of laryngeal nerves injury.
