Is the surgery for vocal cord nodules uncomfortable?
Surgery for vocal cord nodules is not particularly uncomfortable, and as of now, it is not the first-choice treatment option. In fact, most patients can consider conservative treatment. This generally involves oral medications and nebulization therapy, and voice rehabilitation training can also be considered. Most patients can effectively control and alleviate their condition after standardized conservative treatment. If the effects of standardized conservative treatment are not satisfactory, surgery may be considered. The current surgical options include microlaryngoscopic surgery or vocal cord nodule excision under fiberoptic laryngoscopy, both of which are minimally invasive and cause minor damage. General anesthesia can also be considered; during the surgery, patients do not feel particularly uncomfortable. After the surgery, it mainly requires voice rest and continuing with nebulization therapy.
