Recovery from vocal polyp surgery is usually complete in about one month.
Vocal polyp surgery is a treatment that removes polyp tissue from the surface of the vocal folds, using microlaryngeal surgical instruments, CO₂ lasers, and low-temperature plasma knives to remove the polyps.
Depending on the degree of trauma and the condition of the wound, some hospitals may choose to close the wound with a vocal fold margin suture, which may facilitate the healing of the injury after surgery. If the vocal fold trauma is too exposed, it is not suitable for the use of microsuture technique, and the trauma recovery needs to go through the process of pseudomembrane growth, granulation filling and tissue mechanization and softening.
Recovery is usually complete about one month after vocal polyp surgery. After vocal polyp surgery, it is recommended to keep your voice absolutely silent for a short period of time, eat a light diet and get plenty of rest to minimize the effects of adverse stimuli on the recovery of the vocal folds after surgery. For more information on specific diseases and treatments, you can actively communicate with your surgeon for a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the disease.
