Microlaryngeal Surgery (MLS): Precision Surgery for Vocal Cord Health

Microlaryngeal Surgery (MLS) is a specialized procedure for diagnosing and treating vocal cord abnormalities, including polyps, nodules, cysts, and benign lesions. This minimally invasive technique, performed with the aid of a high-powered microscope, allows our ENT surgeons to target and remove vocal cord lesions with precision, preserving vocal quality and promoting a quick recovery.

Benefits of MLS:

Enhanced Vocal Health: Removes growths and abnormalities that can impair voice quality and cause discomfort.
Minimally Invasive: Conducted using a laryngoscope through the mouth, eliminating external incisions and minimizing recovery time.
Quick Recovery and Voice Preservation: Ensures optimal outcomes with minimal impact on surrounding tissues, allowing for faster voice recovery.

Who Can Benefit from MLS?

MLS is ideal for individuals experiencing:

Vocal cord polyps, nodules, or cysts causing voice changes
Persistent hoarseness, strain, or discomfort while speaking
Difficulty projecting voice or maintaining vocal endurance

How MLS is Performed:

During MLS, our ENT specialists use a laryngoscope to access the vocal cords and a microscope to precisely excise abnormal tissue. This approach ensures targeted treatment, allowing patients to recover quickly with minimal disruption to vocal function. Following MLS, most patients experience significant voice improvement and relief from symptoms within weeks.
