Microlaryngoscopy (Vocal cord surgery)
In a microlaryngoscopy procedure, the vocal folds in the throat are observed in greater detail with magnification enabled by microscope or endoscope or video enlargement. A microlaryngoscopy is often accompanied by an additional procedure such as removal of a mass, swelling or tumour that can be done either through using delicate instruments or laser.
A microlaryngoscopy is an hour-long (sometimes longer) procedure that’s performed under general anaesthesia.
