When it comes to addressing vocal cord cysts with precision and care, Hande Hospital’s ENT surgical centre led by the esteemed Dr. Sathyanarayanan JD, MBBS; M.S. (ENT), specializes in advanced ENT procedures, including the microlaryngeal excision of vocal cord cysts using the innovative microflap technique here at the best multispeciality hospital in Chennai.

Understanding Vocal Cord Cysts and Their Impact

Vocal cord cysts are benign lesions that can significantly affect the quality of voice and speech. These cysts, which may be caused by straining vocal chords or congenital factors, often present symptoms such as hoarseness, voice fatigue, and loss of vocal range. Left untreated, these cysts can lead to chronic vocal problems, severely impacting a person’s quality of life.

Cutting-Edge Microlaryngeal Surgery at Hande Hospital

Dr. Sathyanarayanan JD, a renowned ENT, Head & Neck, and Skull Base Surgeon at Hande Hospital, employs the microflap technique to excise vocal cord cysts. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to ensure precise removal of the cyst while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue, thus promoting a swift and effective recovery.

The Microflap Technique: A Closer Look

The microflap technique is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. This is a natural orifice surgery done with a state-of-the-art 4k hd camera and monitor. Laser is used for excision and hemostasis in a few cases. Using a high-powered microscope, a small flap is created on the vocal cord. This allows for direct access to the cyst, which is then carefully removed. The microflap is repositioned, allowing the vocal cord to heal naturally.

This technique offers several advantages:

• Minimally Invasive: Reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
• Precision: Enhanced accuracy in cyst removal.
• Quick Recovery: Faster return to normal voice function.

This procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and the patients are treated as day-care patients.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

Following the procedure, patients typically experience minimal discomfort and can often return to their daily activities within a few days. Voice rest is crucial during the initial recovery period to ensure optimal healing. Dr. Sathyanarayanan and the Hande hospital team provide comprehensive post-operative care, including voice therapy, to facilitate a smooth recovery and prevent recurrence.
