Description

Vocal cords surgery is done to remove the cysts, polyps, or tumours developed on the vocal cord. These cords act as guards to the entrance of the windpipe. The vocal cords vibrate to produce sounds as the exhaled air passes through them. In children and women, these cords are narrower and thin compared to men, where these cords are broad. Hence, men have a higher-pitched hoarse voice than women and children. Sometimes, when the vocal cords get damaged or strained as a result of abnormal growths or infections, they need to be treated through vocal cord surgery.
