Abstract:
Flexible rhinolaryngoscopy is an underused procedure that can provide allergists-immunologists and other physicians with several benefits over existing imaging techniques. In this article, we highlight the many benefits of flexible rhinolaryngoscopy and expand on its safety, cost-effectiveness, and convenience. This article also covers current procedure techniques and assesses the most common indications and relevant clinical findings for which flexible rhinolaryngoscopy can be used to evaluate the nasopharyngeal tract. Videos for the clinician showing some of the most common findings are included.
