Summary Recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) has been recognised for two centuries in horses. Surveys undertaken in Europe and the United States have reported that prosthetic laryngoplasty is the most common treatment for RLN, particularly for advanced cases. Despite widespread adoption of this surgical technique for treatment of RLN, reported success rates still vary widely, particularly in horses used for high intensity exercise where outcomes are often considered moderate, at best. Studies evaluating the outcome of the procedure are complicated by the use of variable criteria for measuring success, various modifications in the procedure, differing athletic demands in horses used in different equine disciplines and horses lost to follow‐up. Furthermore, post operative complications appear to be common, in particular, the effects of the surgery on airway dynamics which are not completely understood. Proposed modifications to the technique may provide a means of improving success rates; however, standardised objective measurements taken before and after surgery are required to effectively evaluate the potential benefits and outcomes of the procedure.

“…Overall, all traditional LP techniques seek to palliate the action of the cricoarytenoideus dorsalis (CAD) muscle to abduct the arytenoid with single or multiple prostheses. Considerable research has focused on the various components of a LP procedure to achieve static and postoperatively stable abduction of the arytenoid …”

Summary Recurrent laryngeal neuropathy usually results in left‐sided laryngeal hemiparesis or hemiplegia and is one of the most common problems of the upper respiratory tract in equids. There are multiple methods of management, and the laryngoplasty procedure is still the most common surgical treatment. Different nonabsorbable suture materials and techniques are used for laryngoplasty. Post surgical complications are not uncommon. Of these complications, coughing is the most common. The following case report describes diagnosis and treatment of 2 horses with chronic coughing after laryngoplasty due to infection at the surgical site and laryngeal fistula formation. In both horses an elastic material (probably Lycra) had been used as part of the prosthesis implant. This material had deteriorated into multiple small pieces making removal difficult, and therefore use of this material for a laryngoplasty procedure should be avoided.
