Vocal polyp surgery is generally a procedure to remove lesions such as fibrotic vocal cords and polyps. Patients undergo treatment for vocal polyps through microlaryngoscopic excision under supportive laryngeal endoscopy. Patients need to pay attention to their diet and maintain emotional stability, as the voice usually reflects one's emotional state. Any psychological stress or excitement can directly affect the voice.
