Service Providers for Flexible Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy (FOL)
Flexible Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy (FOL) is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the throat, vocal cords, and larynx (voice box) using a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera (fiberoptic scope). The scope is inserted through the nose or mouth, allowing the doctor to visually assess the larynx, vocal cords, and surrounding tissues for abnormalities such as inflammation, tumors, polyps, or infections. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually performed in an office setting, and requires no anesthesia, although a local numbing spray may be used. It's commonly used to evaluate hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, or other voice-related issues.
