A comparative study of four methods of laryngeal muscle reinnervation in dogs is presented. Twenty-eight cases were divided into four groups to undergo main branch and branch of ansa cervicalis nerve anastomosis, and nerves implantation an neuromuscular pedicles transfer respectively for restoration of vocal cord adduction on left sides. The results showed that the four procedures seemed to induce effective reinnervation of adductor muscles. But the main branch of ansa cervicalis nerve suture was superior to the other methods among which little difference was noted in the functional recovery, electrophysiological activity and muscle strength. It demonstrated that main branch of ansa nerve suture was the best procedure for treatment of unilateral vocal cord paralysis among the four methods.
