Laryngeal Web Excision
Laryngeal web excision is a specialized surgical procedure used to remove abnormal tissue bands known as laryngeal webs that form across the vocal cords. These webs can partially block the airway and interfere with normal voice production. The procedure aims to restore proper airflow and improve vocal function using precise minimally invasive techniques.
About Procedure
Laryngeal web excision is an advanced ENT procedure performed to treat congenital or acquired webs within the larynx that restrict breathing or voice clarity. Using microlaryngoscopy and fine surgical instruments, the surgeon carefully removes the web while preserving surrounding healthy tissues. In some cases, adjunct techniques such as laser excision or stent placement may be used to prevent recurrence. This procedure is essential for restoring airway patency, improving phonation, and preventing long term complications associated with airway obstruction.
When to Consider
Laryngeal web excision is recommended when patients experience persistent hoarseness, weak voice, breathing difficulty, or stridor due to partial airway obstruction. It is particularly indicated in congenital laryngeal webs seen in infants or acquired cases following trauma, prolonged intubation, or infection. The procedure is considered when conservative treatments fail to improve symptoms and airway compromise affects quality of life or respiratory function.

Hoarseness
Persistent weak or rough voice due to vocal cord restriction.
Breathing Difficulty
Shortness of breath caused by partial airway blockage.
