What is phonosurgery?

Phonosurgery is a group of microsurgical techniques used to modify and improve phonatory (voice) function.

The goal of these procedures is to improve voice quality by correcting the abnormalities that cause it. The goal is to restore a harmonious vibration of the vocal cords that is as close to normal as possible, so that the voice sounds clearer and more natural.

Phonosurgery differs from laryngoscopy for biopsy purposes. Whatever the method used, phonosurgery is always part of a therapeutic strategy that includes not only the surgical procedure, but also the treatment of etiological factors and the management of vocal dysfunctions as part of the Otolaryngology (ENT) specialty.

Causes of voice problems

Voice problems or pronunciation difficulties are common reasons for undergoing voice restoration surgery. Therefore, there are several reasons for adults and even children to undergo voice surgery:

• Infection (laryngitis, tracheobronchitis).
• Acid reflux.
• Tobacco use (risk factors for cancer of the larynx and vocal cords).
• Trauma to the larynx (e.g. during intubation under general anesthesia).
• Long-term inhalation of an oral spray (e.g. asthma patients).
• Severe psychological trauma (common in spastic dysphonia).

Vocal cord surgery: When is it needed?

Voice restoration surgery is generally performed when there is alteration of the vocal cord tissues, or of those tissues that cause aphonia. It is also indicated in cases of benign lesions, such as :

• Medullary nodules: small, benign growths on the vocal cords, often associated with excessive or abusive vocal use.
• Vocal polyps: Benign tumors, larger than nodules, that can lead to a hoarse or nasal voice.
• Intracordal cyst: Small fluid-filled pouches on the vocal cords.
• Laryngeal paralysis.
• Chronic Reinke's edema.
• Vocal cord paralysis: Loss of mobility of one or both vocal cords, often due to nerve damage.

Voice restoration surgery process in Turkey

Phonosurgery in Turkey is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. In this delicate procedure, a laryngoscope is used to access the vocal cords through the mouth without making an incision or leaving a scar. Using a surgical microscope and microsurgical instruments, doctors can act with precision to restore vocal function while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The CO2 laser is often preferred for its precision and ability to promote rapid healing.

Before surgery in Turkey, a complete evaluation is performed, including clinical exams, anesthesia testing, and a thorough voice evaluation by a phonetician.

After the surgery, it is important to rest the voice for about a week to facilitate healing. You may experience some discomfort in the first few days, but this usually goes away quickly.
