Clinical voice assessment prior to thyroid and parathyroid surgery is essential, but the paradigm of indirect laryngoscopy (IDL), when indicated, has been challenged by the risk of aerosolised SARS‐Cov‐2 during endoscopy of the aerodigestive tract.

The aim of this review was to verify TLUS as a viable tool for perioperative laryngeal assessment.
