Endoscopy Procedure
Flexible Laryngoscopy
A transnasal flexible laryngoscope is a useful for office-based diagnostic tool.
This office examination is extremely well tolerated and performed in patients of
all ages. This can even be performed on newborns, if medically required. Prior
to passing the scope, the patient’s nose is decongested and anesthetized with
topical sprays that do not sting or burn. The patient then sits in an upright
position and the scope is passed along the floor of the nose into the back of
the throat to a level just above the vocal cords. At this point the patient is
asked to breath deeply and phonate, allowing the physician to directly observe
the structure and dynamic motion of the true and false vocal cords. There are no
lasting side effects to this procedure and the anesthetic spray wears off over
the ensuing 1-2 hours.
Common reasons for performing this procedure during
your visit include hoarseness, suspected vocal fold lesions, chronic shortness
of breath, difficulty or inability to swallow, longstanding history of smoking,
the need for postoperative visualization or tumor surveillance, and inability to
otherwise visualize the vocal cords during the exam.
Nasal Endoscopy
Rigid nasal endoscopy is used for office-based diagnostics. This exam is extremely well tolerated and is performed on adults and children who are able to cooperate with the exam. Prior to passing the scope, the patient’s nose is decongested and anesthetized with topical sprays that do not sting or burn. The patient then lie down and the scope is gently passed through the nasal cavity to the back of the nose. This exam allows a complete and detailed visualization of all nasal mucosa, nasal turbinates, openings into the sinuses, and nasopharynx. There are no lasting side effects to this procedure and the anesthetic spray wears off over the ensuing 1-2 hours.
Common reasons for performing this procedure during your visit include nasal airway obstruction, suspected acute or chronic sinusitis, nasal/facial pain, altered sense of smell, and nosebleeds.
