Microlaryngoscopy – Precision Surgery for Vocal Cord and Laryngeal Conditions

Microlaryngoscopy is a specialised surgical procedure that allows detailed examination and treatment of vocal cords and larynx using a microscope. It is commonly used to diagnose and remove small lesions such as nodules, polyps, cysts, or early-stage cancers with great precision.

When is it needed?

Microlaryngoscopy is recommended if you have:

• Persistent hoarseness or voice changes

• Vocal cord lesions detected on examination

• Difficulty breathing or airway obstruction

• Need for biopsy or removal of suspicious growths

The procedure

Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgeon uses a microscope and specialised instruments inserted through the mouth to visualise and treat the vocal cords. This allows for precise removal or biopsy of abnormal tissue with minimal damage to surrounding areas.

Benefits

• High precision and minimal trauma

• Quick recovery with minimal discomfort

• Helps preserve voice quality and function

Recovery

Most patients experience mild throat soreness for a few days and can return to normal activities within a week. Voice rest may be recommended to support healing.
