Vocal cords surgery and treatment

The basic principle of phonosurgical procedures is a precise removal of excess tissue, while we aim to spare valuable functional tissue as much as possible. We exclusively perform phonosurgcical procedures of vocal cord tissue regeneration and also, to vocal cords we apply hyaluronic acid, collagen and patient's own fat cells extracted via liposuction and then processed.

We also use combined procedure of excess tissue removal and regenerating procedures, as often both is necessary.

Beside voice regeneration, we also remove excess tissue on vocal cords – knots, polyps, leukoplakia, cysts and risky premalignant lesions.

The vocal cord recovery after the procedure is individual and depends on the type of the procedure and anatomical characteristics of the patient and his or her specific conditions. The patient stays at the clinic for approximately 12 hours, when the patient is sent to home care. Sometimes, the patients stay at the clinic overnight and the following morning, after the medical check-up, the patient is discharged from the hospital. Following the procedure, the surgeon advises the patient to rest the voice, to ensure the best vocal cord recovery, and after few days the patient can start using voice carefully, and be present for regular check-ups at the clinic.

In Cosmetic surgery clinic Dr Toncic, the procedures on vocal cords are performed by an expert for vocal cords diseases and their treatment, prof.dr.sc. Santa Vecerina Volic.
