THE PROCEDURE
What is laryngoscopy?
A laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the larynx (voice box), vocal cords, and surrounding throat structures, helping to identify the causes of voice problems, swallowing difficulties, breathing issues, and persistent throat symptoms.
A laryngoscopy allows an ENT specialist to closely evaluate the condition and movement of the vocal cords and detect issues such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, inflammation, infections, or other abnormalities affecting the throat and airway. During the procedure, a small flexible or rigid camera is used to view the larynx in detail, allowing for accurate diagnosis and guiding the most appropriate treatment plan.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every laryngoscopy is performed by experienced ENT specialists using advanced diagnostic technology and supported by comprehensive aftercare. We provide international patients with accurate assessments, personalised treatment recommendations, and a smooth experience from arrival through to their return home.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a laryngoscopy?
A laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the larynx (voice box), vocal cords, and surrounding throat structures. It allows an ENT specialist to identify problems affecting the voice, swallowing, breathing, and overall throat health.
Why might I need a laryngoscopy?
A laryngoscopy may be recommended if you experience persistent hoarseness, voice changes, chronic throat discomfort, difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, unexplained coughing, or a feeling of something stuck in your throat.
How is a laryngoscopy performed?
A laryngoscopy is performed using a small camera attached to a flexible or rigid scope, which is gently guided through the nose or mouth to examine the throat and vocal cords. The procedure allows your ENT specialist to assess the structures in detail.
Is a laryngoscopy painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during a laryngoscopy. A local anaesthetic spray may be used to numb the nose or throat, reducing any sensation of irritation or gagging during the examination.
How long does a laryngoscopy take?
A laryngoscopy is usually a quick procedure, often taking only a few minutes. Your ENT specialist can discuss the findings with you and explain any recommended next steps afterwards.
Do I need to prepare for a laryngoscopy?
Preparation depends on the type of laryngoscopy being performed. Your specialist will provide specific instructions, but in many cases no special preparation is required.
Can a laryngoscopy detect vocal cord problems?
Yes. A laryngoscopy allows the ENT specialist to examine vocal cord movement and identify issues such as nodules, polyps, inflammation, vocal cord paralysis, or other abnormalities.
Can I eat and drink normally after a laryngoscopy?
Most patients can return to normal eating and drinking after the procedure. If a local anaesthetic has been used, you may need to wait until sensation returns to avoid accidentally irritating the throat.
Is a laryngoscopy only used for diagnosis?
A laryngoscopy is primarily a diagnostic procedure, but in some cases it can also allow the surgeon to take tissue samples (biopsies) or perform certain minor treatments if required.
