Considering that Chen’s problem was caused by vocal cord disease, he immediately performed an electronic laryngoscopy on him, and found that the cause was “vocal cord polyps”. Because of Chen’s long history of vocal cord polyps and large polyps, Xu Fuping suggested that he undergo surgery. After obtaining the patient’s consent, the operation was carried out as scheduled. The preoperative video laryngoscope showed a 0.2 cm light red polypoid tissue growth on the anterior border of the right vocal cord. After a few minutes of surgical excision, both vocal folds were normal postoperatively and closed well. After careful treatment and care by medical staff, the patient’s voice recovered well and was discharged from the hospital three days later.
