Introduction
Vocal cord polyp removal is a specialized ENT procedure performed to treat benign growths (polyps) on the vocal cords that interfere with normal voice production.
Vocal cord polyps commonly cause persistent hoarseness, voice fatigue, reduced vocal range, and voice breaks, especially in individuals who use their voice professionally or extensively.
When voice therapy alone is insufficient, precise surgical removal is required to restore normal vocal cord vibration while preserving voice quality.
