The human voice is perhaps the most important tool in your arsenal; it conveys ideas, expresses emotions and is even used for entertainment. For some individuals, their entire careers are tied to their voice. However, there are instances where the vocal cords might suffer trauma or become impaired. We recommend Centro ELEVA’s vocal cord surgical intervention procedures in this case. You can easily reclaim the power of your voice through vocal cord surgery.
Our specialist in voice disorders diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Juan Carlos is the nationwide trusted choice for vocal cord surgeries. Be it dysphonia, aphonia, crosstalk, or a hoarse voice, our services can correct each one.
Our laryngeal stroboscopy procedure is used in the examination for vocal cord surgery. For the procedure, we use a stroboscope (a lighting tool) to visualize the vocal fold vibration. It will allow us to evaluate the motion of the vocal cords, identify abnormalities, and assess the overall health of the vocal cords.
Laser therapy can be employed to treat various pathologies that affect the larynx and vocal cords, including vocal cord polyps, early laryngeal cancer, laryngeal papilloma and more. The procedure involves inserting a small laryngoscope to visualize the larynx. The laser is then precisely applied to correct the affected folds.
In the event that the patient’s vocal cords were previously removed through a laryngectomy, we will place a replacement voice valve. It is a synthetic voice prosthesis that temporarily covers the stoma and prevents food and liquids from entering the airways. It is regarded as a minimally invasive procedure with little to no complications.
Botox is used to treat vocal cord disorders caused by neurological problems of the larynx. Botox injected into the vocal cords will help relax the affected muscles to improve voice problems. Disorders we treat with Botox include spasmodic dysphonia, vocal tremors, vocal cord nodules, and excessive salivation, among others.
Laryngeal skeletal surgery, or laryngoplasty, improves the position of the vocal cords by directly modifying the cartilaginous structures of the larynx. The surgery delivers permanent results and can drastically improve voice quality.
Laryngeal Microsurgery, or Phonosurgery, is a surgical procedure that improves voice quality by removing the lesions of the vocal fold. The surgery can also tighten vocal folds and improve pitch and voice.
Unilateral type I thyroplasty is the preferred choice for unilateral vocal cord paralysis, a disorder in which only one vocal fold is paralyzed. The procedure pushes the paralyzed cord closer to the healthier cord to improve voice quality.
If both vocal cords are paralyzed, we recommend our bilateral type I thyroplasty. This procedure introduces a small implant into both vocal cords to close the space between them. Pushing the vocal folds to the midline will help improve voice and functional abilities.
Vocal cord disorders can be the result of several factors, including:
