Mayo Clinic team performs first-documented larynx transplant for a person with larynx cancer

Larynx transplant overview

In a larynx transplant, multiple tissue components are transplanted. It’s an example of vascularized composite allograft transplantation, or VCA transplant. This type of transplant can include the larynx, pharynx, esophagus, trachea, thyroid and parathyroid glands, neurovascular structures, and skin.

Narrator: The procedure is actually a composite neck transplant. Along with the larynx, the team transplanted nearby organs and tissue, including the thyroid gland, pea size parathyroid glands, pharynx, also known as the throat, upper esophagus, upper trachea, and skin. It's a surgery with special challenges that is done through the strict human protection guidelines of a clinical trial.

The first-documented larynx transplant in a person with larynx cancer was performed in 2024 by the larynx and trachea transplant team of Mayo Clinic. This was the third-documented larynx transplant in the United States. Larynx transplant is an example of vascularized composite allograft transplant, or VCA transplant. With this method, multiple tissue components are transplanted. These components can include the larynx, also called the voice box, the pharynx, esophagus, skin, thyroid and parathyroid glands, neurovascular structures, and the trachea, also called the windpipe.

Larynx transplant is a promising option to restore quality-of-life in people with severe laryngeal dysfunction or a laryngectomy.
