Treatments Offered

We specialise in diagnosing and treating benign vocal cord lesions and voice-related nerve disorders:

• Videolaryngoscopy & Stroboscopy: High-definition examination to assess vocal cord vibration, structural lesions and mobility.

• Voice Therapy: First-line treatment for nodules and mild lesions through specialised speech therapy to correct strain and misuse.

• Microlaryngeal Surgery: Precise endoscopic removal of nodules, cysts or polyps while preserving healthy vocal tissue.

• Vocal Cord Injection: Injection laryngoplasty for vocal cord paralysis or weakness to improve closure and voice quality.

• Medialisation Thyroplasty: Surgical correction for long-standing vocal cord paralysis to restore voice strength and reduce breathiness.

• Reflux & Inflammation Management: Treating underlying causes like acid reflux, allergies or infections contributing to vocal cord damage.

When to Seek Evaluation

You should consult an ENT specialist if you experience:

• Persistent hoarseness lasting more than 3 weeks

• Breathiness or weak voice suggesting paralysis or poor closure

• Difficulty projecting voice, voice breaks or vocal fatigue

• A sensation of something stuck in the throat or frequent throat clearing

Causes may include vocal misuse, infections, benign lesions, thyroid or neck surgery, nerve injury, acid reflux, smoking or neurological disorders. Videolaryngoscopy helps identify the exact cause and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Management & Long-term Care

Recovery and long-term improvement often include:

• Voice therapy to retrain vocal technique and reduce strain

• Avoiding smoking, loud speaking and excessive throat clearing

• Treatment of acid reflux or allergies that worsen vocal cord inflammation

• Follow-up endoscopy to monitor healing and voice recovery

• Proper hydration and vocal hygiene habits for long-term vocal health
