Vocal folds are approx. 10-15mm long – that is the size of the diameter of a 1 Cent coin. The very important covering of a vocal fold, the so called lamina propria, is only 0.3mm thick.
Thus, only with highly precise instruments an adequate microsurgery can be performed on these very gentle layers of the vocal folds.
The MEDICAL VOICE CENTER has invested in a complete set of instrumentation for state-of-art equipment needed for patiet care and operations. Furthermore, we developed refined instruments for these surgeries, enabling us to address even the finest lesions in the size of less than a millimeter. These instruments are used not only for singers but for all patients that need finest surgery of their vocal folds.
Although technical equipment is absolutely necessary, the most important factor is the expertise of the phonosurgeon – and having accumulated the experience and knowledge of thousands of surgeries of the vocal folds we guarantee highest expertise.
