What you need to know about Laryngoscopy in Seoul

Laryngoscopy is a procedure that gives your doctor a close-up view of your larynx (voice box), including the vocal cords and nearby structures such as the back of the throat, using a special scope called a laryngoscope. There are several reasons why you might need a laryngoscopy, including:

To look for the causes of symptoms in the larynx or throat, such as persistent cough, bloody cough, hoarseness, bad breath, throat pain, narrowing of the throat (strictures or stenosis), persistent earache, difficulty swallowing, as well as mass or growth in the throat.
To take biopsy samples of any abnormal areas in the vocal cords or nearby parts of the throat. The samples are then examined closely in a laboratory to find out if it contains cancer cells.
To treat certain problems in the larynx, including some early stages of cancers.
To remove a foreign object from your throat.

What's the Recovery Time for Laryngoscopy Procedures in Seoul?

It's crucial to understand that recovery can be quite swift, with many patients able to return to normal activities within a day or two. However, some patients may experience a sore throat, mild discomfort, or hoarseness for a few days after the procedure. Those symptoms can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain medication, rest, and consuming plenty of fluids.

Your throat may be slightly swollen or feel sore for around 2 to 5 days. You may also notice that your voice sounds hoarse. This may resolve within 1 to 8 weeks. You may be asked to speak as little as possible for a week or two. Therefore, if your job requires using your voice, you should take 1 to 2 weeks off work.

What's the Success Rate of Laryngoscopy Procedures in Seoul?

Recognizing that the Laryngoscopy serves primarily as a diagnostic technique rather than a curative measure is crucial. Usually, its efficacy can be gauged by its capacity to accurately pinpoint disorders impacting the larynx. Broadly speaking, the Laryngoscopy boasts an impressive success rate in accomplishing its chief objective of rendering a comprehensive perspective of the larynx. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of any follow-up treatments hinges on the specific diagnosed condition, the selected therapeutic course, and personal patient factors. In the aspect of detecting cancer, the procedure is hailed for its 100% precision rate.
