Welcome! Many people don't realize that your throat has multiple sections that need specific evaluation techniques? At MyENTCare in Langford, we perform comprehensive pharynx procedures regularly. Let's explore about these medical evaluations.

For a flexible laryngoscopy, you'll likely be sitting in a chair in the office. Your doctor will spray a local anesthetic into your nasal passages to numb the area. The thin, flexible tube with the camera will then be gently inserted through your nose and guided down to visualize your larynx. The camera transmits live images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to observe your larynx and vocal cords in real-time. You might be asked to speak, cough, or swallow during the examination to help assess the function of your throat and vocal cords. This procedure typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes and is generally well-tolerated, though you might experience some pressure or a mild tickling sensation in your nose or throat.

The oropharynx is the middle part of your pharynx, located behind your mouth. Examination of this area is a routine part of a detailed throat examination. This area includes your tonsils, the base of your tongue, the soft palate, and the uvula. The oropharynx can be examined visually using a light and tongue depressor, or more comprehensively using flexible endoscopy. Your doctor will look for any signs of redness, swelling, infection (like tonsillitis), or Annunciogratis.Net abnormal growths. Symptoms such as sore throat, pain upon swallowing, or the sensation of a foreign body in the throat can necessitate a more thorough examination of the oropharynx.

Direct pharyngoscopy allows for a more detailed and direct view of the pharynx, often using a flexible endoscope. With flexible endoscopy, we use a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and a light source. This allows the doctor to view the pharynx and surrounding areas through the nasal passages or mouth. It's usually performed in the office with a local anesthetic spray to numb the area. Flexible endoscopy is particularly useful for examining the nasopharynx (the upper part of the pharynx behind the nose) and the oropharynx (the middle part of the pharynx behind the mouth).
