Does this new procedure that treats vocal cord polyp also treat vocal cord nodules?

In the management of nodules. In most cases of true nodules, surgery is generally not useful, as nodules will reform in response to factors that surgery cannot alter. Sometimes, however, nodules are so well-formed as a result of long-standing and repeated phonatory damage that no amount of voice therapy can improve the voice. Microlaryngoscopic surgery may be used to remove the tangle of hardened tissue that has aculated. An inspection in the operating room is also useful to resolve any confusion regarding the presence of a cyst or a polyp. In almost all cases, a trail of voice therapy prior to surgery is a good idea, and the risks of surgical scar should be weighed carefully against the current level of vocal disability, the certainty of the diagnosis, and the likely benefits of the procedure.
