Abstract
■ Phonomicrosurgery is elective, precise surgery aimed to improve vocal function based on principles of vocal fold physiology.
■ Phonomicrosurgery utilizes small, delicate surgical instrumentation and is performed with maximum control via high-powered microlaryngoscopy for optimal results.
■ Conservative removal of submucosal pathology with preservation of overlying normal epithelium and superficial lamina propria allows healing by primary intention and optimal voice quality after phonomicrosurgery.
■ Microflap approach to submucosal pathology of the vocal fold is an essential component of most phonomicrosurgical procedures and is a challenging surgical task that requires patience, appropriate instrumentation, surgical skill, and experience.
