    Summary

    A novel split-phrenic nerve-graft procedure successfully reinnervates paralyzed vocal cords in animal models. This technique achieves functional vocal cord abduction while maintaining diaphragm function, offering advantages over existing methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Laryngeal surgery
    • Nerve grafting
    • Vocal cord paralysis treatment

    Background:

    • Vocal cord paralysis significantly impacts voice and breathing.
    • Current reinnervation techniques have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new operative procedure for laryngeal reinnervation.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of the split-phrenic nerve-graft in animal models.

    Main Methods:

    • A split-phrenic nerve-graft was utilized for vocal cord reinnervation.
    • Functional outcomes were assessed using electromyography, microlaryngoscopy, and fluoroscopy.
    • Nerve compound action potentials were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure resulted in functional abduction of the paralyzed vocal cord.
