Voice problems rarely have a single fix — they need the right diagnosis, the right surgery, and the right voice therapy. This page explains how THANC combines all three into one care plan.

About Microlaryngeal Surgery at THANC

Microlaryngeal surgery is a precision procedure to remove benign lesions from the vocal cords — including nodules, polyps, cysts and early dysplasia — using an operating microscope and fine instruments. At THANC, our laryngology team combines microsurgery with pre- and post-operative voice therapy so the result is durable, natural voice, not just a removed lesion. Stroboscopy before and after surgery documents the exact change and guides recovery.

Who Needs Microlaryngeal Surgery?

You may be a candidate if you experience any of the following:

  • Persistent hoarseness of voice not responding to voice rest and therapy
  • Benign vocal cord lesions — nodules, polyps, cysts or granulomas
  • Professional voice users (teachers, singers) needing precise voice restoration
  • Vocal cord leukoplakia or early dysplasia needing biopsy and removal
  • Reinke's oedema causing voice changes and smoker's voice
  • Papillomas or other benign growths affecting voice and airway

What to Expect

A clear step-by-step view of your treatment journey at THANC.

  1. 1

    Voice & Endoscopic Work-up

    A detailed voice history, flexible endoscopy and stroboscopic examination identify the exact lesion and how it affects vocal fold vibration. A speech-language pathologist evaluation completes the picture.

  2. 2

    The Surgery

    Performed under general anaesthesia through the mouth, with no external incision. A suspension laryngoscope and operating microscope give the surgeon precise, magnified access to remove the lesion while protecting the delicate layers of the vocal cord.

  3. 3

    Voice Rest & Early Recovery

    Most patients go home the same day or after one night. Strict voice rest for a short, defined period (as advised by your surgeon) is important — it protects the fresh healing edge of the vocal cord.

  4. 4

    Voice Therapy & Follow-up

    Structured voice therapy begins once early healing is complete and builds safe, sustainable voice use for the long term. A repeat stroboscopy at around 2 weeks documents vocal cord healing and tracks voice recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my voice sound completely normal after microlaryngeal surgery?
Many patients regain a clear, natural voice after surgery combined with voice therapy. The quality of the final voice depends on the type of lesion, how deep it involves the vocal cord and how carefully voice rest and therapy guidance are followed.
How long is voice rest after surgery?
Voice rest is usually advised for a few days to a week, then graded voice use under the guidance of your surgeon and speech-language pathologist. The exact duration depends on the lesion and the surgical technique used.
Is microlaryngeal surgery painful?
Because there are no external cuts, post-operative pain is usually mild. A sore throat for a few days is common from the breathing tube and instrumentation, and is managed with simple oral medication and warm fluids.
Do I still need voice therapy if the lesion is removed?
Yes. Voice therapy is not optional — it addresses the underlying patterns that contributed to the lesion and protects the result. Skipping therapy is one of the main reasons vocal lesions come back.
Will THANC provide a personalised estimate for microlaryngeal surgery?
Yes. After your voice consultation and stroboscopy, our team shares a written, case-specific estimate covering surgery, anaesthesia and the voice therapy package. THANC's rates are consistently lower than prevailing market rates in Chennai.
