About Decortication of Vocal Cords

Decortication of the vocal cords is used to treat a condition call Reinke's Edema. In Reinke's edema, the vocal cords swell past their normal size and/or develop polyps, which affects the patient's voice quality. Decortication of the vocal cords involves removing layers of the vocal cords to improve the condition and restore the original voice as much as possible.
