Laryngoscopy

Laryngoscopy is an examination of the larynx that allows you to assess the condition of the vocal cords, laryngeal perineum and other structures located deep in the larynx. This is an important and frequently used study that can be performed either indirectly or directly.

Indirect laryngoscopy is performed using a small speculum that is inserted into the patient's mouth and directed toward the larynx. The mirror allows the doctor to see the reflected image of the larynx and assess its condition. This examination method is safe and does not require anesthesia or other anesthesia.

Direct laryngoscopy is performed using a laryngoscope, which is inserted into the larynx through the patient's mouth or nose. A laryngoscope consists of a thin flexible tube with a camera at the end that transmits an image to a monitor. This examination method can be more accurate than indirect laryngoscopy and allows the doctor to evaluate the condition of the larynx in more detail and perform the necessary manipulations, for example, to remove a tumor or foreign object from the larynx.

Laryngoscopy can be performed either in a clinic or in a hospital, and can be used to diagnose various diseases such as laryngeal tumors, polyps, cysts, infections and other problems with the functioning of the larynx. Laryngoscopy can also be used to determine the cause of voice problems, such as hoarseness or loss of voice.

Although laryngoscopy is a safe procedure, it can cause discomfort or even pain for the patient. Therefore, local anesthesia or general anesthesia can be used before laryngoscopy.

Overall, laryngoscopy is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal diseases. If you have problems with your voice or throat, see your doctor for advice and possible laryngoscopy.

Laryngoscopy is a method of examining the larynx, which allows the doctor to assess the condition of the mucous membrane of the larynx and vocal cords. This method is used to diagnose various diseases of the larynx, such as laryngitis, laryngotracheitis, laryngeal cancer and others.

Laryngoscopy can be performed indirectly using a small mirror that is inserted into the patient's mouth, or directly using a special instrument called a laryngoscope. A laryngoscope is a long, thin tube with a light at the end that is inserted into the larynx through the patient's mouth or nose. In this case, the doctor can see the mucous membrane of the larynx and vocal cords, and also carry out the necessary manipulations, for example, removing foreign bodies or tissue biopsy.

It is important to note that laryngoscopy is an invasive examination and should only be performed by a qualified otolaryngologist. In addition, before performing laryngoscopy, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation of the patient to avoid possible complications.

Thus, laryngoscopy is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the larynx, which allows you to obtain accurate information about the condition of the patient’s mucous membrane and vocal cords.
