LARYNGOSCOPE

A laryngoscopy (lair-in-GAHS-kuh-pee) is a test healthcare providers perform to examine your larynx (voice box). They perform this test with a laryngoscope, a thin tube with lights, lens and video cameras that help them to look closely at your larynx. Laryngoscopes may have tools your provider can use to remove tissue from your larynx.

When would I need a laryngoscopy?

Your healthcare provider may recommend a laryngoscopy to diagnose problems like dysphonia (hoarseness) or to diagnose laryngitis. They may also do laryngoscopies to diagnose more serious conditions such as laryngeal cancer.

Who performs laryngoscopies?

Healthcare providers called otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons perform laryngoscopies. An otolaryngologist is a provider and surgeon who specializes in treating conditions that affect your ear, nose, throat and head and neck. Otolaryngologists may perform laryngoscopies in a clinic office or in an operating room.

What are laryngoscopy complications or side effects?

It is rare to have any complications with in-office flexible laryngoscopy. Please talk to your provider about any specific concerns you may have. Direct laryngoscopies done in the operating room are usually safe, but there can be complications including:

  • Reaction to anesthesia.
  • Chipped or broken teeth.
  • Tongue soreness or a temporary taste change.
  • Hoarseness.
  • Bleeding in your throat (very rare).
