Treatment of choice for vocal nodule is
Correct Answer: Microlaryngoscopic removal
Description: Treatment of vocal nodules Early cases of vocal nodules can be treated conservatively by educating the patient about the proper use of voice. With this treatment, many nodules in children disappear completely. Surgery is required for large nodules or nodules of long standing in adults. They are excised with precision under an operating microscope either with cold instruments or laser avoiding any trauma to the underlying vocal ligament. Speech therapy and re-education in voice production are essential to prevent their recurrence. Ref: Textbook of diseases of ENT, PL Dhingra, 7th edition, pg no. 343
