[Observation on the kinetic process in replantation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve of the dog].
OBJECTIVE
In order to provide experimental foundation for replantation in the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLM) of the laryngeal reconstruction and laryngeal transplantation.


METHODS
The left RLN of ten caine dogs were cut. The histopathology of the cut RLN were observed under the microscope after operation (two dogs) and 3.5 hours later (two dogs). Meanwhile the RLN were sewed up under the microscope at once. The kinetic process in regeneration of the RLN were observeded 1 week (two dogs), 2 week (two dogs) and 4 week (two dogs) after the replantation.


RESULTS
The replantation of RLN of six dogs succeeded.


CONCLUSIONS
The results confirmed that sewing up the cut RLN at once is helpful to get normal regeneration in the replantation.
