Vocal Cord Surgery Treatment in India

Karan Williams, a 58-year-old high school music teacher and choir director, had dedicated his life to sharing his love of music. Over the past two years, his once-rich baritone had become increasingly hoarse and strained. Singing with his students became physically painful, and even speaking for a full class period left him exhausted. An ENT specialist diagnosed a large, benign vocal cord polyp, likely from decades of vocal use. The doctor recommended micro-laryngeal surgery to remove the polyp, explaining it was the only way to restore his voice. Karan was terrified; his voice was his identity and livelihood. The surgery itself was quick and under general anesthesia. The recovery required absolute vocal rest for a week, which he found profoundly isolating. Gradually, with voice therapy, his voice returned, first clearer, then stronger. Six months later, conducting the spring concert, he felt a wave of emotion. The surgery had given him back not just his voice, but his connection to his students and his passion.
