Follow-up examination after vocal polyp surgery generally refers to the patient returning to the hospital for a check-up one month after completing the surgical procedure. The patient needs to undergo an examination to avoid vomiting and other symptoms during the evaluation. Under indirect laryngoscopy, the entire length of the vocal cords can be observed. Laryngoscopy is performed to reduce pain, save on part of the examination cost, and effectively monitor the recovery progress of the condition.
