Frequently Asked Questions

Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy (FOL) is a medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a built-in light source and camera to examine the larynx (voice box) and surrounding structures.
FOL is performed to evaluate and diagnose various conditions affecting the larynx, such as vocal cord disorders, vocal cord nodules or polyps, vocal cord paralysis, and tumours, or to assist in placing a breathing tube during anaesthesia.
During FOL, a flexible laryngoscope is inserted through the mouth or nose and gently passed into the throat. The camera on the tip of the scope transmits real-time images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to visualise the larynx and make a diagnosis.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal discomfort. Local anaesthesia may be applied to the throat or nasal passages to numb the area and reduce any potential discomfort during the procedure.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is considered a safe procedure with minimal risks. In rare cases, it may cause mild throat irritation, bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions to the anaesthesia or topical medications used.
The duration of FOL can vary depending on the purpose and complexity of the examination. Typically, the procedure takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
Yes, a fibre optic laryngoscopy can help diagnose vocal cord cancer. By visualising the larynx, the doctor can identify any abnormalities, lesions, or tumours and may perform a biopsy.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy can be performed on children, although the procedure may require general anaesthesia to ensure their comfort and cooperation.
The doctor will provide specific instructions, but typically, patients may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the procedure, especially if general anaesthesia is used. Medications may also need to be adjusted prior to the examination.
After FOL, you may experience some throat discomfort or a sore throat that can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medications or throat lozenges. You should follow any post-procedure instructions given by your doctor.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is primarily a diagnostic procedure, but in some cases, therapeutic interventions may be performed during the examination. For example, if vocal cord nodules or polyps are detected, the doctor may recommend voice therapy or surgical removal.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is generally covered by health insurance when performed for medically necessary reasons. It is recommended to check with your insurance company beforehand.
Yes, Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is commonly performed on an outpatient basis.
There are alternative laryngoscopy methods, such as rigid laryngoscopy, which uses a straight, rigid scope, or transnasal laryngoscopy, where a smaller, flexible scope is inserted through the nose.
Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy can be used to assess certain aspects of swallowing, such as the movement of the larynx and vocal cords. However, a more comprehensive evaluation of swallowing difficulties may require additional tests, such as a videofluoroscopic swallow study.
In most cases, Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy can be performed on individuals with a history of neck surgery. However, it is important to inform the doctor about any previous surgeries to ensure appropriate precautions are taken.
In some cases, it may be a one-time procedure for diagnosis, while in others, periodic follow-up examinations may be necessary depending on the underlying condition and the recommendation of the healthcare provider.
Yes, Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy is an effective tool for detecting vocal cord paralysis. By visualising the movement of the vocal cords, the doctor can identify any immobility or weakness which may indicate vocal cord paralysis.
The doctor may advise you to avoid activities that strain your vocal cords, such as speaking loudly or yelling, for a short period following the procedure.
