An endoscopy of the throat, often referred to as a laryngoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a procedure used to visually examine the throat, larynx, and esophagus. It looks for abnormalities such as inflammation, tumors, infections, strictures, or any other pathological changes that could affect swallowing or breathing. The procedure involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera and light source through the mouth or nose, allowing the physician to assess the lining and structures of the throat in real-time. It can also facilitate biopsies or the removal of tissue samples for further analysis.
