Ear, nose, or throat (ENT) problems can seriously affect the quality of life, causing discomfort, difficulty breathing, hearing loss, and other health problems. ENT endoscopy is a modern solution for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of various ENT problems.
What is ENT Endoscopy?
- Endoscopy: A medical procedure to see inside the body using a special instrument, an endoscope. Consisting of 2 types of instruments, namely rigid and flexible endoscopes.
- ENT: Abbreviation for Ear, Nose, and Throat, organs that are interrelated and often experience problems together.
- ENT Endoscopy: A medical procedure that uses an endoscope to view the inside of the ear, nose, and throat directly.
An ENT endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to see directly inside your ears, nose, and throat. This procedure uses a special tool called an endoscope, which is a small tube equipped with a camera and light. With an endoscope, the doctor can see clear and detailed images of your internal organs, making it easier to diagnose and treat more accurately.
