Laryngoscopy & Microlaryngeal Surgery
About the Procedure
Laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure to visualize the larynx, vocal cords, and surrounding structures using a flexible or rigid scope. Microlaryngeal surgery (MLS) is a precision surgical procedure performed under a microscope to remove lesions such as nodules, polyps, cysts, or early tumors from the vocal cords. MLS allows targeted treatment while preserving vocal function. Both procedures are usually done under general anesthesia and are essential for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring laryngeal conditions and voice disorders.
