    • Microphonosurgery for removal of benign vocal fold lesions to preserve normal tissue and vocal quality
    • CO2 or KTP laser treatment of laryngeal lesions
    • Injection augmentation or laryngoplasty to improve position of a paralyzed or weak vocal fold
    • Airway surgery to improve and dilate any scar in the larynx or upper trachea
  • Vocal fold repositioning surgery, or thyroplasty, is a surgery done to move a paralyzed or weak vocal fold to a better position to improve the voice.
