Abstract

Laryngeal reinnervation procedures were performed on 15 dogs. Anastomosis was performed between a selected motor branch of the ansa hypoglossi and the posterior crico-arytenoid nerve. The results were analyzed endoscopically, electromyographically, and histologically. Results were satisfactory in 12 cases. The methods and results have been compared with those obtained using other reinnervation techniques.
