I am fairly sure this is the same thing. The pain doesnt come until after the surgery, when the dog attempts to bark. When you "poke holes" in the throat, anywhere, scar tissue develops. But dogs dont know they have to stay quiet to let the scar tissue heal and to quit aggravating it. They bark and repeatedly injure their throats. Its actually really cruel any way about it.
But i heard that procedure doesnt hurt. The other procedure does, in which thwey go through the back of the neck, and cut the pipes...
