How Microlaryngoscopic Vocal Cord Polyp Excision (Cold Instruments/CO₂/KTP) is performed
This procedure is often performed under general anesthesia, and the lesion can be biopsied. Typically, the vocal cords are exposed through a suspension laryngoscope, and under a microscope, a micro-flap incision is made along the lesion. The polyp is gently separated and removed, and after preserving the mucosa and lamina propria, it is repositioned. The procedure relies on microscopic imaging and laryngeal micro-instruments, with hemostasis or vocal cord injection as needed. Postoperative monitoring of the airway and voice quality is performed, along with short-term voice rest and voice rehabilitation, with the goal of restoring vibration and improving hoarseness. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
