The patient can be positioned in left or right lateral recumbency. The surgical approach to correct laryngeal paralysis will be a done with a lateral neck incision. A right‐handed surgeon will often place the patient in right lateral recumbency to approach the larynx from the left side and a left‐handed surgeon will often place the patient in left lateral recumbency to approach the larynx from the right side. The forelimbs should be retracted caudally and a towel, sandbag, or bubble wrap placed under the neck to elevate the larynx. The instruments needed for arytenoid lateralization are listed in Box 2.11.
