What can you expect during a visit to an otolaryngologist?
Our otolaryngologists' medical offices are equipped with specialized, modern diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. During the visit, the doctor will perform an endoscopic / fiber optic examination, which is a modern standard in the diagnosis of diseases of the nose, throat, and tonsils.
The endoscopic examination involves inserting an endoscope into the examined organ and examining its interior. The equipment is equipped with a high-quality image camera, which allows the inspection of places inaccessible in a traditional ENT examination. The examination image can be saved in the form of photos, making it possible to compare previous results and evaluate the entire treatment process.
The fiber optic examination is performed using a flexible endoscope, which allows for painless overcoming of all curvatures, so during one examination you can view each of the elements of the upper respiratory tract. The examination is especially recommended for small children and people who have a strong vomiting reflex.
