Zuckerkandl’s tubercle and its relationship to the recurrent laryngeal nerve: A cadaveric dissection and meta-analysis

Zuckerkandl's tubercle (ZT), when present, is an anatomical landmark by which surrounding structures such as the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can be identified intraoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and anatomical characteristics of Zuckerkandl's tubercle by combining cadaveric dissection with a meta-analysis.
