DIAGNOSTIC VIDEO TELE-LARYNGO-PHARYNGOSCOPY
The larynx and the laryngopharynx is
located behind and below the posterior third of the tongue making this area very
difficult to evaluate in the outpatient setting. Indirect lighting reflected
onto these structures from laryngeal mirrors often provide poor illumination.
Hence misdiagnosis occurs in a large number of cases or doubtful cases will have
to be examined under general anaesthesia in the operation theatre.
The 90 degree tele-laryngo-pharyngoscope
delivers powerful light directly onto the laryngeal structures and the telescope
provides a magnified view of these structures. This reduces the margin of error
due to poor illumination and naked eye examination. Unnecessary examination of
doubtful cases under general anaesthesia will be drastically reduced.
