Laryngeal transplantation is receiving increased attention. Re-innervation of the transplanted larynx is critical for a successful functional outcome. Different anatomical models (dog, cat, rat, pig) have been employed for experimental purposes. Interspecies similarities and differences are important for extrapolating the experimental results to humans. We present a review of the anatomical course and regional branching patterns of the laryngeal nerves in both humans and animals currently being employed in laryngeal transplantation. The clinical and surgical implications are also discussed.
