Direct laryngoscopy
Direct laryngoscopy is a procedure in which a rigid scope passed through the mouth gives direct visualization of the larynx, used for intubation, diagnosis, and surgery.
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy, or DISE, examines the upper airway of a sedated patient with a flexible endoscope to locate collapse sites causing obstructive sleep apnea.
Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing
Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a bedside procedure in which a flexible laryngoscope passed through the nose assesses swallowing and aspiration risk, first described in 1988.
Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy
Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy is an office-based endoscopic exam in which a thin, steerable scope passed through the nose views the pharynx and vocal cords during breathing and speech.
High-speed videoendoscopy
High-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) is a laryngeal imaging method that records vocal fold vibration at thousands of frames per second, used in voice assessment and research.
Nasal endoscopy
Nasal endoscopy, also called rhinoscopy, is a procedure in which a scope is passed through the nostril to examine the nasal cavity and sinus openings.
Nasoendoscopy
Nasoendoscopy, also known as flexible nasendoscopy (FNE), is a diagnostic procedure in which a narrow flexible endoscope is passed through the nose to inspect the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and larynx.
Nasolaryngoscopy
Nasolaryngoscopy, also called fiberoptic nasendoscopy, is an office-based endoscopic exam in which a thin flexible scope passed through the nose inspects the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx.
Nasopharyngoscopy
Nasopharyngoscopy is an office-based otolaryngology procedure in which a thin flexible or rigid scope passed through the nostril of an awake patient inspects the nasopharynx and larynx, used for hoarseness, sleep apnea, and detecting nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Rhinoscopy
Rhinoscopy is the visual examination of the interior of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, performed with a handheld speculum or a rigid or flexible endoscope.
Sialendoscopy
Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique that diagnoses and treats salivary duct disorders, chiefly stones and strictures, using micro-endoscopes inserted into the parotid and submandibular ducts.
Stroboscopy
Stroboscopy is an endoscopic examination that uses light flashing in sync with a patient's voice to show the rapidly vibrating vocal folds in apparent slow motion, the standard exam for evaluating voice disorders.
Videostroboscopy
Videostroboscopy is a diagnostic imaging method in otolaryngology that records apparent slow-motion views of vibrating vocal folds during phonation, the gold standard for laryngeal imaging.
