Abstract

The purpose of this study was to dissect various animal larynges in support of a proposal for a laryngeal dissection laboratory. It was found that although the bovine larynx is larger than the human larynx, the anatomy is similar. Thirty-three bovine larynges were dissected by the author in various simulated phonosurgical and partial laryngectomy procedures. Following each procedure, the specimen was photographed for teaching purposes. The author concludes that dissecting bovine larynges offers a valuable aid to training in the field of laryngeal surgery. It is intended to apply these dissections in the form of a departmental surgical workshop.
