The current status of human laryngeal transplantation in 2017: A state of the field review

Abstract: Two laryngeal transplants have been reported in the medical literature. Although both patients report improved quality of life relating to their ability to communicate with voice, further research is necessary to shape our understanding of this complicated operation, its indications, and its functional outcomes. Laryngoscope, 127:1861-1868, 2017.

“…Larynx transplantation is currently mainly a theoretical option that can only be applied in exceptional cases and that is not suitable for reconstruction after tumor surgery. However, it has been described twice in the literature 93 94 . To create an artificial larynx, the production of various tissues, including cartilage, laryngeal muscles, and laryngeal mucosa, must be coordinated.…”

“…Hamilton und Birchall gehen in einer aktuellen Übersicht davon aus, dass die Therapie des Larynxkarzinoms in den kommenden 10 Jahren durch die Entwicklungen im Bereich der Larynxregeneration entscheidend beeinflusst werden wird 92 . Die Larynxtransplantation ist eine derzeit v. a. theoretische Option, die aufgrund der notwendigen Immunsuppression nur in Ausnahmefällen und nicht für die Rekonstruktion nach Tumorchirurgie in Betracht kommt, aber auch bereits 2-mal in der Literatur beschrieben wurde 93 94 . Für die Herstellung eines artifiziellen Larynx ist die Herstellung so unterschiedlicher Gewebe wie des knorpeligen Gerüsts, der laryngealen Muskulatur und der laryngealen Schleimhaut in koordinierter Weise erforderlich.…”

“…Over the past twenty years, notable surgical developments have advanced the field of vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation (VCA), making it a viable treatment for patients with major defects involving multiple layers of tissue including hand, face, penis, and laryngeal transplantation, among others (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). As in solid organ transplantation, VCA must overcome a significant immune barrier to provide meaningful, long-term benefit.…”
