Hoarseness is one of the most common voice problems affecting people of all ages. It can result from overuse, inflammation, vocal fold nodules, polyps, cysts, or even aging-related changes to the vocal cords. When conservative treatments such as rest or voice therapy are not enough, voice surgery can provide a lasting solution — restoring clarity, strength, and endurance to the voice.
At Yoskarn Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, Dr. Somyot Kunjak and his expert medical team bring over 40 years of experience in otolaryngology (ENT) and phonosurgery. They specialize in diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of hoarseness with advanced surgical techniques that ensure natural, stable vocal recovery.
Hoarseness typically occurs when the vocal folds fail to vibrate properly due to irritation, swelling, or lesions.
Common causes include:
Vocal abuse or misuse (excessive shouting, singing, or talking)
Vocal fold nodules or polyps
Chronic laryngitis or acid reflux
Aging-related vocal atrophy (Presbyphonia)
Neurological disorders or trauma
In some cases, persistent hoarseness can indicate structural damage or early-stage pathology that requires precise medical intervention.
Voice surgery (microlaryngoscopy or phonomicrosurgery) aims to restore the natural vibratory function of the vocal folds while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
Techniques may include:
Microlaryngeal excision of nodules, cysts, or polyps under microscope guidance
Laser microsurgery to remove lesions with minimal trauma
Injection laryngoplasty to restore volume and closure in atrophied vocal cords
Scar revision and mucosal wave restoration for damaged vocal folds
All surgeries are performed under high-magnification visualization for maximum precision and optimal voice outcome.
Following surgery, patients typically undergo voice rest for a few days, followed by professional voice therapy.
