Voice Surgery Treatment by Expert ENT – Restore Your Natural Voice
What Should You Know About Voice Surgery?
Voice surgery is a medical procedure that improves or restores voice quality by treating problems in the vocal cords. It may involve removing growths, correcting structural issues, or repairing damage caused by infection, overuse, or trauma. Dr. Prasobh performs voice surgery using minimally invasive methods that ensure quicker recovery and maximum voice preservation.Difference Between Surgical & Non-Surgical Voice Treatments
Voice issues are not always treated with surgery. Non-surgical treatments include voice therapy, medications, lifestyle modification, hydration therapy, and speech exercises. These are ideal for mild to moderate conditions. Surgical treatments are recommended when structural problems—such as nodules, polyps, cysts, paralysis, or scar tissue—affect the vocal cords. Surgery helps restore the physical function of the voice when non-surgical methods are insufficient. Dr. Prasobh ensures that surgery is chosen only when truly necessary and after a complete diagnostic evaluation.Common Voice Problems Treated
- Vocal cord nodules, polyps & cysts
- Hoarseness or chronic voice change
- Vocal cord paralysis or weakness
- Strained or breathy voice
- Voice loss (aphonia)
- Muscle tension dysphonia

Voice Diagnostic Procedures
To ensure accurate diagnosis, Dr. Prasobh uses state-of-the-art tools:
Laryngoscopy
A small endoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth to view the vocal cords directly. It helps detect swelling, lesions, and structural issues.
Stroboscopy
A high-speed light system that captures the vibration of the vocal cords in slow motion. It provides clear insights into how your cords move and function during speech.
Acoustic & Aerodynamic Voice Analysis
These tests measure airflow, pitch, loudness, and sound quality. They help determine which treatment—therapy or surgery—will work best.
