Microwebs are thin bands of tissue that form between the vocal cords, either congenitally or following surgery or trauma. These webs may cause mild to moderate voice symptoms, depending on their size and location. Most patients report a weak, high-pitched, or breathy voice. Small microwebs may not need intervention, especially if voice quality is unaffected. For larger webs that interfere with vibration or breathing, we may recommend microlaryngoscopy to divide the tissue. Recovery typically includes a few days of voice rest and, in some cases, a temporary stent to prevent re-scarring.
