The task of design a “saturated” experiment for measuring the characteristics of tissues in surgical wound in order to identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during operation on the neck organs considered in this paper. In this task, the method of selection a “saturated” block from an interval system of linear algebraic equations (ISLAE) is used, which allows to reduce the duration of surgical operation by decreasing the number of points for stimulation the surgical wound tissues to detect the RLN location and reduce the risk of its damage.
