Vagi and recurrent laryngeal nerves
Lying on the black cloth from right to left are the right vagus, right recurrent laryngeal, trachea, left recurrent laryngeal and left vagus. The left recurrent goes around the ligamentum arteriosum (aortic arch). What does the right hook around? The vagus is situated posterior to the hilum.By the way the phrenic which lies anterior to the hilum, innervates the pericardium (not the visceral, and what else?).
