Vocal cord polyps are a common condition treated in otolaryngology, mainly caused by excessive voice use, inflammatory irritation, and physical and chemical factors. These factors lead to the formation of granuloma-like neoplasms at the junction of the anterior and middle third of the vocal cords. These growths have a broad base or may be pedunculated, and the mucosa is smooth. When the vocal cords attempt to close during phonation, closure is poor, causing symptoms such as effortful speech and easy vocal fatigue. Diagnosis can be confirmed through indirect laryngoscopy or videolaryngoscopy. If diagnosed with vocal cord polyps, outpatient surgery may be an option if the patient cooperates well with topical anesthesia and if the clinician's technique is highly adept. Otherwise, inpatient surgery under general anesthesia may be necessary, as outpatient treatments do not allow for reimbursement or the execution of necessary anesthesia. Therefore, vocal cord polyps generally require inpatient treatment.
