Direct Laryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the throat and vocal cords. During this procedure, a doctor uses a special instrument called a laryngoscope to visualize the larynx, or voice box. This allows for a clear view of the vocal cords and surrounding structures, helping to diagnose conditions such as infections, tumors, or vocal cord paralysis. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia to minimize discomfort. It can also be used to remove foreign objects or take tissue samples for further testing. Direct Laryngoscopy is an important tool in otolaryngology, the branch of medicine that focuses on ear, nose, and throat disorders.
