Treatment usually involves vocal training and , occasionally, vocal rest. In some situations, surgery may be required. Removal of vocal cord nodules is relatively safe and is not major surgery. However, professional singers may need to take the surgical option with caution as it may alter their voices permanently. While the patient is under general anesthesia, long thin scissors and knives are used to remove the nodules, or CO2 surgical lasers might be used-they are very effective in such cases.
