Laryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the larynx, or voice box, which is located in the throat area. During a laryngoscopy, a flexible or rigid laryngoscope is inserted through the mouth or nose to visualize the larynx and surrounding structures. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, and tumors, as well as to evaluate swallowing difficulties or voice changes. Researchers in this area may focus on improving laryngoscopy techniques, developing new technologies for visualization, or studying the effects of various treatments on laryngeal health. The ultimate goal of laryngoscopy research is to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes for individuals with laryngeal disorders.
