| | Too often, surgical removal is used as a ‘quick fix’ for granulomas, because it is considered to be easier than treating reflux and changing harmful vocal behaviors, both of which require discipline and patience. | | | Voice therapy aimed at correcting behaviors that cause vocal fold trauma, such as habitual loud-talking or throat clearing, is as important as treating reflux. | | | Surgery is generally a treatment of last resort, as most granulomas will shrink and eventually disappear with proper medical measures and behavioral changes. |
