Injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) that may occur during thyroidectomy cause hoarseness, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Even if the injured nerve can be repaired surgically, it heals slowly and not completely. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is obtained by centrifuging blood taken from the human body. PRP accelerates the healing of the injured nerve due to the many growth factors it contains. The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of PRP and assess surgical repair after RLN injury.
