Microlaryngeal surgery
Micro Laryngeal Surgery (MLS) is a highly specialized, minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various disorders of the larynx (voice box). It is performed using an operating microscope, specialized microlaryngeal instruments, and in some cases, laser technology.
Understanding the Larynx
The larynx is a complex anatomical structure located in the neck, composed of cartilages, muscles, and soft tissue. It houses the vocal cords (vocal folds), which vibrate to produce sound.The larynx serves multiple essential functions:
Disorders of the larynx can impair voice, breathing, and swallowing, often requiring surgical intervention for relief and restoration.
What is Micro Laryngeal Surgery?
Micro Laryngeal Surgery is a microsurgical procedure used to treat lesions or abnormalities of the vocal cords and other laryngeal structures.It is performed transorally (through the mouth) without external incisions.
A microscope or endoscope provides magnified views of the laryngeal anatomy, allowing surgeons to operate with exceptional accuracy.In selected cases, CO₂ lasers are used to minimize tissue trauma and promote quicker recovery.
Indications for Micro Laryngeal Surgery
MLS is indicated in various benign and malignant laryngeal conditions, such as:
