It is an examination of the back of the throat, including the larynx containing the vocal cords that allows us to speak.

How the test is performed?

In direct laryngoscopy, a flexible tube called a video laryngoscope is used, which is placed in the back of the throat. This procedure allows the doctor to see deeper into the throat and remove a foreign object or tissue sample for a biopsy. It is done under sedation, which means that you will be asleep and will not feel any pain.
