Description

Microlaryngeal Surgery The larynx is the medical term for the upper windpipe where the voice box and vocal cords are situated. Micro laryngeal surgery, otherwise known as micro laryngoscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to operate on the larynx, usually performed on an outpatient basis. It is the most precise means of visualising the vocal cords. This procedure helps to perform a biopsy or remove abnormal growths, or cysts, such as granulomas or benign cysts, in the larynx.

Microlaryngeal surgery involves the use of the two most essential tools in laryngeal surgery: the operative microscope, and microlaryngeal dissection instruments, which include the use of a laryngoscope. It is a thin lighted tube with a camera attached at the end to allow a surgeon to visualise the area with great precision. It is performed on patients under general anaesthesia, administered and monitored closely by an anaesthesologist working in close collaboration with a surgeon to avoid the danger of gagging or breathing problems.
