[BROOMFIELD, 08/22/2019] - Peak ENT and Voice Center uses specialized treatment and surgery to help patients with voice-related issues recover their speaking capability. The Denver-based voice clinic’s staff address a wide variety of voice disorders, including vocal cord lesions and paralysis of the vocal cords.

Vocal Cord Lesions

These noncancerous lesions take the form of clusters of nodules, cysts, and polyps of differing sizes on the vocal cords. Nodules and polyps are more common than cysts and are often the result of overuse of the vocal cords. Singers and people who regularly raise their voices and talk excessively are more prone to developing nodules and polyps. Cysts can be the result of trauma to the vocal cords. All three can interfere with a patient’s ability to speak or sing.
Peak ENT and Voice Center’s specialist can remove and correct vocal cord lesions by using endoscopic microsurgery. The clinic also has vocal therapists who help patients recuperate after surgery.
