Assessment and options
A flexible scope may pass through the nose while you are awake, with local numbing when appropriate. Direct examination may allow a biopsy or another intervention.
Limits and safety
Fasting and anaesthesia instructions depend on the planned test; request instructions for your appointment. Clarify whether the examination is diagnostic only or may include tissue sampling.
Questions for your consultation
- Will this be flexible or direct laryngoscopy?
- Do I need to fast or bring someone?
