Objective To investigate the anatomical significance of Zuckerkandl's tubercle (ZT). Methods We retrospectively analyzed thyroid gland resection in 102 cases of 145 sides. We observed the presence and size of ZT, as well as its relationship with recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior parathyroid (SP). All the patients were graded according to PELIZZO and classified according to YUN et al's classification of RLN-ZT relationship. Results Incidence rate was 85.5% in ZT, which was consistent with previous studies, the difference between the number of greater than 0 level and 0 level was obvious. The appearance of ZT was associated with postoperative hoarseness and SP exposure. The higher the ZT level, the more types of A; the lower the ZT level, the more types of D. Conclusion ZT can be used as RLN and SP localization and anatomical landmark to avoid damage to RLN and SP during the operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
