Overview

What is Microflap Excision?

Microflap excision is a precise, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove cysts and lesions from the vocal folds (vocal cords) while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This advanced technique promotes faster healing and improved voice quality compared to laryngeal surgery. Vocal fold lesions such as cysts and precancerous growths can impair speech and breathing and may pose a cancer risk, often requiring surgical removal.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microflap Excision?

We recommend microflap excision in Los Angeles for patients with vocal fold cysts or lesions that are not responsive to conservative treatments like voice therapy. If you experience persistent hoarseness, difficulty speaking, or vocal fold lesions diagnosed through videostroboscopy or microlaryngoscopy, this procedure may be right for you. As a leading treatment for voice disorders and hoarseness in Los Angeles, microflap excision offers effective relief when other treatments fail.

Benefits of Microflap Excision

Microflap excision offers several advantages over traditional vocal fold surgery:

Minimally invasive: Surrounding healthy tissue remains intact.
Faster healing: No need for sutures or reconstructive treatment.
Improved voice quality: Promotes optimal vocal cord function after healing.
Reduced scarring: Minimizes the risk of thick scar tissue that could affect vocal cord vibrations.

What to Expect During a Microflap Excision Procedure in Los Angeles

A laryngoscope is gently inserted through the nose to access the vocal folds during the procedure. As the trusted expert ENT surgeon for microflap excisions in Santa Monica, Torrance, and Los Angeles, Dr. Daneshrad makes a small incision using specialized microscopic tools to carefully lift the vocal fold membrane and remove the cyst or lesion. Once the abnormal tissue is removed, the membrane is repositioned without stitches, allowing it to heal naturally. Patients are typically advised to be on complete voice rest for at least two weeks following the surgery.
