Surgery

Surgery is usually reserved for patients with persistent laryngitis due to vocal cord nodules.

If persistent hoarseness or loss of voice is a result of vocal cord nodules:

• Surgical resection of the nodule and/or speech therapy may be recommended.
• Reduction of high-impact stress to the vocal cords caused by loud, frequent, and rapid speech is recommended.
