Abstract:Laryngeal transplantation, as a cutting-edge frontier in the field of composite tissue allotransplantation, aims to reconstruct respiratory, phonatory, and swallowing functions by surgically replacing the diseased larynx. Its core value lies in overcoming the limitations of traditional alternatives, offering patients who have undergone laryngectomy comprehensive restoration of both anatomical structure and physiological function, while effectively alleviating associated psychosocial trauma. Consequently, this article synthesizes the developmental trajectory of laryngeal transplantation over several decades, elaborating on its significant progress from basic research to clinical application, the evolution of accompanying ethical controversies, existing technical bottlenecks, and future research directions, with the aim of providing references for optimizing surgical strategies, refining ethical frameworks, and ultimately promoting the clinical application of the technology.
