Microlaryngoscopic Vocal Cord Nodule Excision (Cold Instruments/CO₂/KTP)
Surgery may be considered after specialist assessment when vocal cord nodules cause persistent hoarseness and vocal fatigue, and still affect work or life after voice therapy and conservative treatment. The decision often considers the size and location of the lesion, its impact on vibration, previo

How Microlaryngoscopic Vocal Cord Nodule Excision (Cold Instruments/CO₂/KTP) is performed
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, with the larynx exposed through a suspension laryngoscope. Under a surgical microscope, the mucosa is lifted using a micro-flap technique, and the nodules and fibrous tissue are precisely removed using cold instruments, preserving the vocal cord mucosa and lamina propria as much as possible. Hemostasis and irrigation are performed as needed, and specimens can be sent for pathological examination. Postoperative monitoring of the airway and voice load is performed early, with the goal of improving vibration symmetry and voice quality. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
