What the procedure involves.
Microsurgical and laser-assisted laryngeal procedures for vocal cord polyps, nodules, papillomas, early glottic cancer, and laryngeal stenosis. Chinese voice centers utilize CO2 laser, KTP laser, and microlaryngoscopic instruments for precise tissue treatment while preserving voice function. Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for early laryngeal cancer offers cure rates comparable to radiation while preserving the larynx.
Step by step.
Laryngeal Assessment
Flexible laryngoscopy, stroboscopy for vocal fold vibration analysis, CT/MRI if malignancy suspected, voice quality baseline recording
Microlaryngoscopy
Suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia with operating microscope or angled endoscope for magnified visualization
Surgical Treatment
CO2 laser ablation, cold instrument excision of lesions, or injection laryngoplasty depending on pathology, with specimen for histology
Voice Rehabilitation
Absolute voice rest for 3-7 days, speech therapy initiation at 2 weeks, voice quality reassessment at 6 weeks
- Precise laser surgery preserving maximum vocal fold tissue
- Organ-sparing treatment for early laryngeal cancer
- Advanced stroboscopy for accurate pre-operative diagnosis
- Integrated voice rehabilitation with experienced speech therapists
- Voice quality changes after surgery
- Recurrence of benign lesions with ongoing vocal strain
- Laryngeal web formation from bilateral surgery
- Airway edema requiring temporary observation
