How many days do you need to stay in the hospital for surgery of polyps in the throat?

A polyp in the throat is usually a vocal fold polyp that usually requires a 5-7 day hospital stay. The length of hospital stay for vocal cord polyps is directly related to the location and size of the vocal cord polyps. Vocal fold polyps generally require surgery under general anesthesia, so preoperative examinations are needed to rule out contraindications to surgery, and this stage usually takes 1-2 days. If there is no contraindication to surgery, general anesthesia can be arranged. The entire operation time (preanesthesia preparation, anesthesia, surgery, anesthesia awakening) usually takes about 3 hours, and prophylactic antibiotics are needed for 3-5 days after the operation. Therefore, the entire hospital stay of the patient is about 5-7 days. After the polyp in the throat should be treated actively, because the medical conditions of each region and each hospital are different, the specific hospitalization time should also be combined with the medical level of the local hospital, based on the consultation of the local hospital’s hospitalization time.
