Comprehensive voice evaluation including videostroboscopy, acoustic analysis, aerodynamic measurements, and patient voice goals assessment. High-speed laryngeal imaging reveals vocal fold vibration patterns.
Duration: 1-2 hoursMicrosurgical Voice Procedure
Depending on diagnosis: microflap excision of nodules/polyps, injection laryngoplasty for vocal fold paralysis, laser treatment for papilloma, or thyroplasty for medialization. Performed under general anesthesia with microsurgical precision.
Duration: 1-3 hoursPost-Operative Voice Rest
