Micro-laryngeal surgery is a microscopic surgical procedure performed on the vocal folds or other parts of the voice box to correct different types of problems.
How can micro-laryngeal surgery benefit patients?
Micro-laryngeal surgery can be beneficial or necessary in several situations such as:
Removal of a vocal fold polyp causing hoarseness.
Elimination of a recurrent or enlarging lesion like respiratory papilloma.
Biopsy of an uncertain or suspicious lesion.
Full removal of an early cancer to preserve voice.
Resolution of breathing difficulty caused by narrowing in the voice box.
