Vocal Cord Injection Via Rigid Scope

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 31571

A doctor uses a rigid scope along with an operating microscope, inserted through the mouth, to view the voice box and inject a substance into a vocal cord to add bulk or improve its position. This approach is typically done in an operating room under anesthesia, and it can help improve the voice or swallowing when a vocal cord is not closing properly, such as after vocal cord paralysis.
