A member asked:
Does a herniated disc surgery for c6-c7 and c6-c5 will risk my vocal cord since i had 12 year ago x-ray treatment of right vocal cord carcinoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated disc: The risk is low for vocal injury after anterior neck surgery. The spine surgeon will likely go from the right side of the neck since the right vocal is likely weak or paralyzed. The endotracheal tube can cause vocal nerve damage to. A preoperative evaluation of the vocal cords with an ears, nose, and throat surgeon is essential to determine the strength of the vocal cords.
