[Reporter Huang Mingtang/Taitung Report]Most people experience hoarseness. Apart from general conditions such as excessive speech and viral infection, it may also be a cancer-like disease, which should not be ignored. Tumor surgery can also damage the vocal cords. Taitung Mackay Hospital has introduced a new technology of vocal cord injection, which can make the voice pleasant again on the day of injection.
A nurse surnamed Yu in the operating room of Mackay Hospital in Taitung devoted herself to singing “Amazing Grace” today. Accompanied by a colleague’s guitar, she sang beautifully. She said that not long ago, her voice was hoarse and breathy, and many people could not hear what she was saying, which made her very hurt. It turned out that she was a cancer patient. After the operation, her vocal cords were damaged. After the injection of the vocal cords by ENT doctor Shen Guangxuan, she immediately recovered her previous voice and became more confident.
Shen Guangxuan said, the announcer’s voice is hoarse and the audience can’t hear clearly, what should I do if the singer loses his voice in front of the concert? Vocal cord health is not only very important for professionals, but also has a great impact on the general public. In addition to overuse of the vocal cords, viral infections can also cause loss of voice, but in some cases, hoarseness is a symptom of cancers such as esophageal cancer, thyroid cancer, brain tumor, and lung cancer. For those who are hoarse, the cause will be investigated.
In addition, the operation of this type of cancer is close to the vocal cords. In some cases, in order to save life, the vocal cords must be partially removed or inevitably damaged, which will also affect the vocalization.
Shen Guangxuan said that after these patients were treated with vocal cord hyaluronic acid injections, the sound quality and clarity have been significantly improved, and the effect lasted for several months. Vocal cord hyaluronic acid injection is an innovative treatment method. Traditional voice injection requires a lot of effort and requires general anesthesia for surgery. With the advancement of technology, only local anesthesia is needed, which greatly reduces the risk and complexity of surgery. Currently It has been widely used in major hospitals, and Taitung Mackay has also introduced this technology to reduce the plight of local patients having to travel to other counties and cities for injections.
