Abstract
Laryngeal reinnervation procedures were performed on 15 dogs. An anastomosis was performed between a selected motor branch of the ansa hypoglossi and the posterior cricoarytenoid 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.
