Neeti Voice Clinic is a dedicated unit within the hospital for diagnosis and treatment
of disorders
related to voice box (larynx).
At Neeti Clinics,6000 minor and 400 major procedures are successfully conducted each year.
We have in house facilities for following diagnostic tests:
- Rigid Laryngoscopy: Examination of the throat with an endoscope to diagnose
polyps/ cysts/
nodules/ ulcers in the larynx or pharynx and/or problems with functionality of the
vocal
cords.
- Flexible Naso-pharyngo-laryngoscopy: Examination of throat by passing a
smooth
fibre-optic
cable via nose. This allows diagnosis of polyps/ cysts/ nodules/ ulcers in the
oropharynx,
larynx or hypopharynx and/or problems with functionality of the vocal cords.
- Stroboscopy: Evaluation of vibratory patterns of the vocal cords to
accurately
diagnose the
cause for voice change.
Surgical Team:
We have a dedicated team with experienced and highly trained surgeons specializing in this
field to look after our patients.

Following is a list of commonly performed surgeries at the hospital:
- Micro-laryngeal Surgery: Surgical treatment of vocal cord pathologies often
LASER
assisted to
provide precision in surgery and best voice outcomes.
-
Laryngeal Framework Surgeries: To improve quality of voice by utilizing
external
approach
Specialty Services:
- Injection Laryngoplasty: In patients with weakness of one vocal cord, injection of
bio-safe
chemical into the cords can significantly improve voice outcomes. This can even be
done
without anaesthesia and gives immediate relief to the patient.
- Botox Injections: Patients diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia which literally
means a
spastic quality in their voice can benefit with a simple injection into their vocal
cords.
This is
again a technique we specialize in and can be done with/ without anaesthesia
depending
on
patient choice.
- Airway Surgeries: Patients with narrowing of the trachea (upper airway) can
have life
threatening difficulty in breathing. This can be treated occasionally by LASER
surgery
but
sometimes may require open surgery as well. This is an extremely risky surgery. So
we
have
developed a team of expert anaesthesiologists who specialize in management of
difficult
airway and with their assistance, the surgical team performs these skillful
surgeries
with
due
precautions to ensure safe and best results for the patients.
- Juvenile recurrent laryngeal papillomas : JRLP occur in small children and can cause life threatening airway obstruction. We perform CO2 LASER excision of papillomas. This is a recurring condition so usually requires multiple procedures
