What is Laryngoscopy?
A diagnostic procedure called a laryngoscopy can be performed in individuals with specific symptoms, such as laryngeal inflammation, throat pain, difficulty breathing and swallowing, voice changes, bloody cough, etc. In addition to diagnosing voice disorders, this procedure helps rule out laryngeal tumors, and tiny samples of those tissues are taken for a biopsy test. Laryngoscopy can be of two types: direct & indirect.
| Procedure Name | Laryngoscopy |
|---|---|
| Type of Surgery | Diagnostic & Therapeutic |
| Type of Anesthesia | General Anesthesia or local anesthesia |
| Procedure Duration | 5 min to 45 min |
| Recovery Duration | Few weeks |
Laryngoscopy: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before the procedure, you will need to fast overnight and drink a barium-containing liquid, a contrast agent that enhances throat visibility during X-rays. Your medical history, including any existing illnesses, throat conditions, or allergies, will be reviewed, and you may be instructed to discontinue certain medications that could affect the procedure.
During the procedure: Once in the procedure room, you will be administered general anesthesia (direct laryngoscopy) or local anesthesia (indirect laryngoscopy), depending upon the procedure type. Initially, a well-flexible telescope is placed through your mouth to reach your throat, view your larynx, and take samples for a biopsy. Indirect laryngoscopy involves viewing the larynx and ruling out abnormalities using a mirror that is positioned at the back of your throat. The patient is asked to make sounds during this procedure to understand more about the individual’s vocal cords. In certain cases, a laryngoscope is passed through the nose and down the throat by spraying local anesthesia.
Recovery: The recovery period may vary from person to person & many other factors; however, the ideal healing time is a few days to a few weeks. However, if you notice symptoms like a high fever, throat irritation, or soreness that does not improve after a few days, or any voice changes, you can get in touch with your doctor.
Post-Op Care:
- Reduce your speech or take a minimum of two days off from speaking.
- Taking the prescribed pain relief medications,
- Drinks and soft foods should be consumed for 24 to 48 hours.
- To relieve the discomfort in your throat, use saltwater gargles.
- Get enough sleep and stay hydrated.
