Is Surgery for Vocal Cord Leukoplakia Painful

Vocal cord leukoplakia surgery may be somewhat painful. Because vocal cord leukoplakia surgery is a general anesthesia procedure, the patient will not perceive pain during the procedure, but may experience a slight sore throat sensation, foreign body sensation, or tooth damage after the procedure. Patients will be anesthetized before the vocal cord leukoplakia surgery, so they will not feel any pain during the surgery. However, the pulling of the supporting laryngoscope during the surgery may damage the mucous membrane of the throat and the upper incisors, so it may cause different degrees of throat pain or foreign body sensation after the surgery, and some of the patients who have a high larynx or who have a protruding upper incisor may have intraoperative injuries. Whether before or after surgery, patients should pay attention to diet, ensure light, avoid spicy and stimulating food, while strictly prohibit smoking and drinking. If postoperative discomfort occurs, it is recommended to feedback with the medical staff in time, and actively standardize the disposition.
