How much does vocal cord surgery cost in Turkey?

The cost of vocal cord surgery depends on factors such as type and size of the lesion; use of cold instruments or laser; number of voice therapy sessions; length of hospital stay, and is set by the doctor after an examination. Under Turkish rules on the advertising of health services, prices are not published on our site; you can ask the doctor directly when you request an appointment.

Who is the best doctor for vocal cord surgery?

There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in vocal cord surgery, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (ENT specialist), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.

How do I find a ENT specialist for vocal cord surgery?

On each profile you can see reviews, the clinic address and available times, and send a free appointment request through our site.

How long does vocal cord surgery take?

The operation usually takes 20–45 minutes; most patients go home the same day. Number of visits: One operation, followed by a few weeks of voice therapy.

Can vocal cord nodules go away without surgery?

Often, yes. Most nodules shrink with regular voice therapy and changing habits that strain the voice. Surgery is usually considered for cases that do not respond to therapy.

How long should I not talk after vocal cord surgery?

It depends on the type of lesion and your doctor's preference; usually a few days of complete voice rest followed by gradual use is recommended.

Does vocal cord surgery change the voice?

The aim is to improve the voice, and in most patients it does. Rarely, if scarring develops, the voice can be different from expected; this is why surgery is done in a way that preserves the vocal cord surface.

What is vocal Cord Surgery (Microlaryngeal Surgery)?

The vocal cords are two thin muscle-and-membrane structures in the larynx that vibrate to make the voice. Overusing or misusing the voice, smoking and reflux can cause benign swellings on the vocal cords. Nodules are usually on both sides, symmetrical and callus-like; they are common in teachers, singers and children, and most shrink with voice therapy. Polyps are more often on one side, can develop after a sudden strain or bleed, and usually need surgery. Vocal cord cysts and Reinke's oedema, seen in smokers, are also treated surgically. In microlaryngeal surgery the patient is asleep, a metal tube (laryngoscope) placed through the mouth gives access to the vocal cords, and only the lesion is removed under a microscope with very fine instruments or a laser; the vibrating surface of the vocal cord is preserved as much as possible. The removed tissue is always sent for pathology. Surgery alone is not enough: if habits that strain the voice continue, the problem can come back, so voice therapy before and after surgery is part of treatment.

How is vocal Cord Surgery (Microlaryngeal Surgery) done?

Endoscopic examination of the larynx and assessment of vocal cord vibration with stroboscopy
For nodules, voice therapy first; managing factors such as reflux, allergy and smoking
Placing a laryngoscope through the mouth under general anaesthesia
Removing the lesion under the microscope with cold instruments or a laser and sending it to pathology
Voice rest, then referral for voice therapy
