Indirect laryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the throat and vocal cords. During this procedure, a doctor uses a small mirror or a flexible tube with a light source to visualize the larynx, which is located at the back of the throat. This examination helps identify issues such as inflammation, tumors, or other abnormalities. The procedure is typically performed in a doctor's office and does not require general anesthesia. Patients may experience some discomfort, but it is generally quick and safe. Indirect laryngoscopy is an important tool for diagnosing conditions affecting the voice box and surrounding areas.
