Microlaryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the larynx, or voice box, in detail. It involves the use of a small, flexible tube with a light and camera, allowing doctors to visualize the vocal cords and surrounding structures. This procedure is often performed under general anesthesia and can help diagnose conditions such as nodules, polyps, or tumors. During microlaryngoscopy, the doctor may also perform minor surgical procedures, such as removing growths or taking biopsies for further analysis. This technique is valuable for both diagnosis and treatment, helping to improve vocal health and address issues affecting speech and breathing.
