Micro Laryngeal Surgery

Microlaryngeal Surgery at Asian ENT Care Centre, Hyderabad

Microlaryngeal surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat vocal cord lesions, such as cysts, polyps, and granulomas, as well as laryngeal cancer. This procedure offers high precision in the removal of lesions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue, making it an effective treatment for individuals with vocal difficulties.

When is Microlaryngeal Surgery Needed?

• Voice Disorders: Surgery may be required when voice therapy or medication fails to improve conditions like hoarseness caused by benign vocal fold lesions, such as polyps or cysts.
• Laryngeal Lesions: In cases where lumps, granulomas, or suspicious growths are detected on the vocal cords, surgery may be necessary for biopsy or to treat potentially cancerous lesions.
• Vocal Cord Cancer: Microlaryngeal surgery can also be used to remove tissue for diagnosis or to treat early-stage laryngeal cancer.

How is Microlaryngeal Surgery Performed?

• General Anesthesia: The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia to prevent discomfort or breathing difficulties.
• Laryngoscope: A thin, illuminated tube with a camera is inserted through the nose into the throat to visualize the vocal cords.
• Precision Surgery: The surgeon uses micro-instruments to remove only the affected tissue, leaving surrounding areas undamaged. This high-precision technique reduces the risk of complications and preserves vocal function.
• Outpatient Procedure: Microlaryngeal surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Benefits of Microlaryngeal Surgery

• Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional laryngeal surgery, microlaryngeal surgery requires only small incisions, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.
• Voice Quality Preservation: The precision of the surgery helps preserve voice quality, often resulting in faster recovery and better long-term voice function.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients experience quicker healing compared to conventional laryngeal surgery, with minimal pain and a shorter hospital stay.
• High Success Rate: It is highly effective for treating benign lesions and diagnosing laryngeal conditions, including cancer.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

• Voice Rest: Complete voice rest is essential in the first few weeks after surgery to allow healing.
• Pain Management: Mild discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications, and in some cases, a corticosteroid may be prescribed for pain relief.
• Voice Therapy: After surgery, patients often undergo speech therapy to improve and maintain voice quality.
• Follow-Up: Regular follow-up visits are required to monitor recovery and ensure the lesion has been fully removed.

Risks of Microlaryngeal Surgery

While microlaryngeal surgery is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including:

• Anesthesia Complications: Adverse reactions to general anesthesia or medications.
• Breathing Issues: In rare cases, respiratory complications may occur, especially in patients with underlying heart or lung conditions.
• Tongue or Lip Discomfort: The pressure from the laryngoscope can cause numbness or pain in the tongue or lips.
• Tooth Injury: In rare instances, the laryngoscope may cause damage to the teeth.
