How Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Reinnervation is performed
This procedure aims to restore tension to the denervated vocal cord muscle. Common donor nerves include the ansa cervicalis, etc. Nerve grafting or muscle-nerve flaps can also be performed depending on the situation. Usually, the donor and recipient nerves are separated and anastomosed end-to-end under a microscope and electrophysiological monitoring. Temporary filling is combined if necessary for transition. Postoperative attention is paid to the airway, neck, and swallowing. Voice improvement gradually appears with reinnervation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
