Abstract:
Loss of laryngeal function is a primary problem faced by patients after total laryngectomy. Although the voice function of the larynx can be partially compensated by some methods(such as implanting a voice prosthesis, using an electrolarynx and so on), and swallowing dysfunction can be improved by postoperative rehabilitation training, patients still need to breathe through the tracheostoma for life. Laryngeal transplantation, as the only therapeutic measure that has the potential to completely restore laryngeal function, has been the focus of attention in the field of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery both at home and abroad. In this article, we review a case of human laryngotracheal allotransplantation that was successfully completed in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, including case presentation, preoperative evaluation and preparation, surgical procedure, and postoperative management, which will provide a reference for the future development of clinical laryngeal transplantation.
