About Phonomicrosurgery

Phonomicrosurgery is a highly specialized, minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon to treat disorders of the vocal cords. Using an operating microscope and micro-instruments, the surgeon accesses the larynx (voice box) through the mouth, eliminating the need for external incisions. This precision technique allows for the removal of benign lesions like nodules, polyps, and cysts, as well as the treatment of early-stage cancers and scar tissue, while meticulously preserving healthy vocal cord tissue. The primary goal is to restore optimal voice quality and function with minimal trauma, making it the gold standard for voice preservation surgery.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough voice evaluation by an ENT specialist and a speech-language pathologist.
Undergo diagnostic laryngoscopy to visualize the vocal cord pathology.
Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; may need to stop blood thinners.
Maintain absolute voice rest as advised, typically for 24-48 hours before surgery.
Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the procedure as per anesthesia guidelines.
Arrange for transportation home post-surgery as you will not be able to drive.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure.
Infection at the surgical site.
Reaction to anesthesia.
Temporary or, rarely, permanent worsening of hoarseness or voice quality.
Incomplete removal of the lesion, requiring further treatment.
Scarring of the vocal cords, which can affect voice.
Tooth or gum injury from the laryngoscope.
Very rare risk of airway compromise.

Recovery & hospital stay

Strict voice rest is mandatory, often for 3-7 days post-surgery, as directed by your surgeon.
Avoid coughing, throat clearing, and whispering, as these strain the vocal cords.
Follow a soft, cool diet for the first few days; avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods.
Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for laryngoscopy to monitor healing.
Gradually resume normal speech under the guidance of a speech-language pathologist.
Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and exposure to irritants like smoke for 1-2 weeks.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (typically day-care)
Expected recovery time: 1-3 weeks for initial healing; 4-6 weeks for full voice recovery with therapy
