Vocal cord nodules (referred to as “vocal fold” nodules by physicians) are growths
that form on the vocal cords. These lumps are benign (noncancerous) and are similar
to calluses that can form on the hands.

 Nodules affect girls and boys of any age, and are a common cause of voice issues
in both children and adults.

The most common symptom of vocal cord nodules is a raspy or hoarse voice. You may
also hear straining and pitch breaks in your child’s voice when he talks or sings.

These small, benign (non-cancerous) nodules usually go away again if you rest your
voice or do voice therapy, especially the highly recommended laser therapy/surgery.

Laser vocal cord surgery is an endoscopic procedure used to remove and treat a number
of conditions that affect the vocal cords, including these nodules.

Of note, not all laser machines are capable of performing professional nodules’ 
removals. Only the best such as the [SIFLASER-1.2A ](https://sifsof.com/product/810-nm-portable-surgery-laser-system-fda-siflaser-1-2a/)
proved to be that capable among otolaryngologists and maybe that is the reason why
it has been widely used in this field in particular.

The device has been specifically designed to perform better and gentler nodule removals,
even at lower power.

As such, the improved cutting performance makes it ideally suited to all surgical
applications especially those concerned with these small, wart-like growths.

What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2A highly recommended by otolaryngologists is that
it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the treatment. All thanks
to its green aiming beam.

For more perfect results, the device is supported with a fiber guide laser. First,
it is compatible with various endoscopic uses. Second, these special fibers are 
sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections while guaranteeing
a clean and bloodless operative area.

The above feature is expected to reduce the thermal damage and to its peculiar interaction
with hemoglobin.

Additionally, the complete absence of water absorption helps drastically reduce 
the overheating of the surrounding tissues. This should further reinforce the laser
treatment’s efficacy.

Due to all these advanced options, the SIFLASER-1.2 A guarantees increased cutting
effectiveness, much higher than the one obtained with infrared lasers.

Lasers are a relatively recent addition to benign growth surgery. However, following
their efficacy, laser use and applications have expanded rapidly.

In this article, we discuss the benefits of laser therapy and precisely the efficacy
of SIFLASER-1.2 A as a surgical laser device used for Vocal Cord Nodules’ removals.
