Laryngeal surgery involves procedures that target the larynx, commonly known as the voice box. Conditions such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, or tumors may necessitate surgical intervention. Depending on the specific issue, surgeries may include vocal cord surgery (phonosurgery), laryngoplasty, or even more extensive procedures like laryngectomy, where part or all of the larynx is removed. These surgeries aim to restore or enhance voice function, alleviate breathing difficulties, or address more severe conditions like cancer. Recovery varies based on the nature of the surgery, ranging from temporary voice rest and throat discomfort to more extended rehabilitation for complex procedures. Laryngeal surgery is often tailored to the individual's specific needs, aiming to improve both vocal and respiratory health.
