About the clinic

Vocal cord paralysis treatment at the Instituto de Otorrino in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, focuses on restoring voice function through specialized laryngology care. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation and uses precise diagnostic tools like video-laryngo-stroboscopy to evaluate vocal fold vibration. Treatment is led by Dr. Juliana Gomes Paulino, a specialist in laryngology and voice who serves as a preceptor of medical specialization at the institute.

Diagnostic options for voice disorders

The clinic uses a dedicated voice care unit to identify the exact cause of vocal cord issues. Specialists perform several tests to create a tailored treatment plan:

Laryngology consultation. A specialized evaluation with Dr. Juliana Gomes Paulino or the ENT team.
Video-laryngo-stroboscopy. This uses rigid or flexible endoscopes to see how the vocal folds vibrate in real time.
Video-pharyngo-laryngoscopy. A visual exam of the throat and larynx structures.
Vocal acoustic analysis. This involves spectrography to measure voice quality and sound patterns.
Phonotherapy evaluation. An assessment to determine if speech therapy can help improve voice function.

Minimally invasive surgical treatment

When surgery is necessary for vocal cord paralysis, the clinic performs laryngeal microsurgery, also known as microlaryngoscopy. This procedure takes place in a surgical block equipped with five operating rooms. The surgeon uses a microscope and a laryngoscope to view the area clearly without making external incisions. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and often uses lasers or micro-instruments to treat the vocal cords.

Microlaryngoscopy is usually an outpatient or short-stay procedure. Because the technique is minimally invasive, it helps reduce surgical trauma and shortens recovery time. After the operation, patients typically need a period of voice rest and follow-up speech therapy to achieve the best results.

Specialized care and facilities

Dr. Juliana Gomes Paulino is a member of the Brazilian Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery. She leads the diagnosis and treatment process at the institute. The facility provides 24-hour urgent ENT care for emergencies. For patients who need to stay overnight, the clinic offers private apartments that include space for a companion. The institute combines specialized expertise with a complete infrastructure to handle complex voice disorders.

You can request a consultation for vocal cord paralysis treatment at this clinic through the Bookimed platform.
