Abstract

The time and space devoted recently in the mass media to the transplantation of non-vital organs, such as the hands or the face, have raised questions in our patients regarding the possibility of transplanting the larynx, an essential organ for communication. The main barriers to larynx transplantation are tissue viability of the transplanted organ, immunological tolerance and functional restoration. This review of the literature aims to update the compendium of knowledge about this procedure and to explore the prospects of larynx transplantation as a viable therapeutic option.
