Surgical removal of vocal nodules in children is effective, with most patients experiencing normal or improved voices post-operation. This study supports microsurgical intervention for selected pediatric cases.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Speech Pathology

Background:

  • Vocal nodules are benign growths on the vocal folds, often caused by voice misuse.
  • Surgical intervention is considered for persistent vocal nodules impacting a child's voice quality and communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the outcomes of microsurgical vocal nodule removal in pediatric patients.
  • To describe the laryngoscopic assessment and microsurgical techniques used.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 27 pediatric patients undergoing vocal nodule removal over a 5-year period.
  • Detailed description of laryngoscopic assessment with telescopes and microsurgical excision.
  • Analysis of patient age, symptom duration, and indications for surgery.

Main Results:

  • A total of 53 vocal nodules were removed from the 27 children.
  • Parental questionnaires indicated that almost all patients had normal or improved voice quality post-surgery.
  • The study details the surgical techniques and patient selection criteria.

Conclusions:

  • Microsurgical removal of vocal nodules is a justified and effective treatment in selected pediatric patients.
  • The procedure leads to significant voice improvement in the majority of cases.
  • Further research can explore long-term outcomes and refine patient selection criteria.
