Endoscopic examination of the nose and nasopharynx. ENV video endoscopy

  • Date: 21.10.2019

In the system of human organs, the throat plays an important role. In a healthy condition, the mucous membrane looks clean and pink, without inflammation, increase almonds. With various diseases of the cold, nervous, tumor, traumatic nature, tissue react to certain changes. For their diagnosis, use various surveys. The most informative of them is the endoscopy of the larynx, which allows you to clarify and fix any deviations from the norm, as well as take a sample of the tissue if a biopsy needs.

What uses endoscopy

The endoscopy method refers to the sphere of diagnostic studies with flexible tubes equipped with devices of light-fiber optics. The region of the larynx is included in the LOR-organ system, the problems of which are engaged in the section of medicine - otolaryngology. In addition to visual inspection, in the Arsenal of the ENT doctor there is an endoscopic diagnostic method appointed during problems with voice, swallowing, during injuries. There are several types of surveys, depending on the area under study:

  • pharisingoscopy is used to visualize the oral cavity and state of the pharynx;
  • during laryngoscopy examine the cavity of the larynx;
  • rososcopy is used to review the nasal strokes;
  • the otoscopy is needed to review the auditory stroke along with the outer ear.

Interesting fact: the examination of the inner surfaces of the ear, larynx and the nose doctors have been engaged for more than a hundred years. However, at the dawn, era endoscopic diagnostics used routine instruments - special mirrors. Modern diagnosis is performed by perfect adaptations equipped with high-precision optics with the possibility of fixing the results.

Advantages of endoscopic diagnosis

When problems with voice, ear and thorny pains, hemoptysis, larynx injuries, there is a need to examine the larynx and voice ligaments by laryngoscopy. The diagnostic examination of the larynx is performed rigidly fixed or a flexible endoscope, allowing to see the internal area of \u200b\u200bthe organ in various projections on the monitor screen. Thanks to the possibilities of the video system, the doctor can consider the problem areas in detail in detail, writing out the results of the endoscopic examination on the disk.

Popular in otolaryngology type of diagnostics has a number of benefits:

  • harmfulness of manipulation due to the lack of electromagnetic effects;
  • the absence of severe signs of discomfort and pain syndrome;
  • endoscopy provides a reliable result and the possibility of the fence of the sample of the fabric.

Diagnostic surveys are performed in the conditions of modern medical centers using various tools. Depending on the type of laryngoscopy, use a vibration-fiber endoscope or a laryngoscope with the direct form of diagnosis. The visual inspection is performed by the mirror system reflecting the light bulb for larynx lighting with indirect endoscopy. Microlaryngoscopy is carried out by a special operating microscope to establish larynx tumor lesions.

Methods of endoscopic research

The examination is engaged in a doctor who treats diseases of the ears, the nose of the problems with the throat. The possibility of instrumental research allows you to accurately determine the diagnosis for appointing the correct treatment of people of different ages. What types of larynx diagnostics are prescribed?

Indirect view of the endoscopy of the larynx

For a study, which is carried out in a darkened room, the patient should sit with the wide open mouth and the sweeping language. The doctor is examined by the doctor with the help of a patient in the mouth of a sandy mirror, reflecting the light of the lamp, refracted by a frontal reflector. It is fixed by a doctor on his head.

In order for the observation mirror in the cavity of the throat, it should be heated. In order to avoid vomit urges, the inspected surfaces of the larynx are treated with anesthetic. However, the five-minute procedure has long been outdated and is rarely held due to the low informativeness of the half-age image of the larynx.

An important condition: before appointing a modern method for diagnosing the state of the larynx, the patient should be convinced of the need for endoscopy, familiarize with the peculiarities of preparation for it. It is also necessary to find out the information about the health problems of the surveyed, it is not, to reassure a person that he will not hurt, there is no danger of a lack of air. It is advisable to explain how manipulation is carried out.

Direct research method

This type of laryngoscopy is flexible when a movable fibrolaryngoscope is used. In the case of using a rigidly fixed apparatus, the methodology is called rigid, and used mainly in surgical intervention. The introduction of modern equipment facilitates the diagnosis, makes it possible to achieve the following goals:

  • identify the reasons for the change or loss of voice, pain in the throat, difficulty breathing;
  • determine the degree of damage to the larynx, the causes of hemlooking, as well as problems with breathing paths;
  • remove a benign tumor, save a person from a foreign body that has fallen into the larynx.

With insufficient informativeness of indirect diagnostics, inspection is relevant by a direct method. Endoscopy is performed on an empty stomach, but under local anesthesia after taking drugs to suppress the secretion of mucus, as well as sedatives. Before the start of manipulation, the patient must warn a doctor about the problems with the heart, the characteristics of blood clotting, tendency to allergies, possible pregnancy.

Features Direct Endoscopy Lained

  • Direct flexible endoscopy method

Diagnostics are performed under the control of the group of health workers. In the course of manipulation, the doctor enjoys a fiber optic fibrosendoscope equipped with a moving distal end. The optical system with adjustable focus and lighting provides a wide range of the cavity of the cavity. In order to avoid vomit urges, the throat is treated with anesthetic. To prevent the injuries of the mucous membrane, the nose is buried by vasoconducting drops, since the endoscopic procedure is carried out by introducing a laryngoscope through the nasal passage.

  • The complexity of rigid endoscopy

The study allows you to see the inspection of the state of the larynx, as well as voice ligaments, remove polyps, take the material for biopsy. The diagnostic procedure that lasts approximately 30 minutes is considered particularly difficult. Therefore, they are studying in the operating hospital. When the patient lying on the operating table falls asleep under the action of anesthesia, in its larynx through the mouth, the beak of a rigid laryngoscope equipped with a lighting device is introduced.

Important moment: along the way of manipulation is possible by the swelling of the larynx, so after the study, the patient's throat is placed ice. If voice ligaments were interfered with interference, a person will have to be silent for a long time. Each food and liquid is allowed not earlier than two hours after endoscopy was performed.

The likelihood of complications

The use of modern medical equipment during endoscopic diagnosis helps the doctor to detect pathology, to establish the degree of its development, which is particularly important for the preparation of the treatment program. In addition, for the patient and his relatives, this is a great opportunity to promptly familiarize yourself with the problem, to penetrate the need for treatment.

In suspected oncology, the results of autofluorescent endoscopy become the most reliable diagnosis of the problem. However, it is worth considering that any type of endoscopic diagnosis is associated with a possible risk for the patient's condition.

  1. The consequence of processing anesthetic can be difficult to swallowing, the feeling of the edema of the root of the tongue, as well as the rear pharyngeal wall. It is not excluded a certain risk of larynx swelling, which turns into a violation of the respiratory function.
  2. The short-sighted time after the endoscopy of the larynx can be felt symptoms of nausea, signs of hoarseness and pain in the throat, pain in the muscles. To facilitate the state, regular rinsing of the thorny walls with soda solution (warm) are carried out.
  3. If a bopotate fence was taken, cough with bloody clots in sputum can begin after it. The condition is not considered pathological, unpleasant symptoms will be held in a few days without additional treatment. However, the risk of bleeding, infection, the injuries of the respiratory tract exists.

The danger of the development of complications after endoscopy increases due to the blocking of the respiratory tract with polyps, possible tumors, inflammation of the cartilage of the larynx (the palmist). If the diagnostic examination provoked the development of the obstruction of the respiratory tract due to spasms in the throat, emergency assistance is necessary - tracheotomy. It requires a longitudinal dissection of the trachea zone to provide free breathing through the tube inserted into the cut.

When the study is prohibited

In modern otolaryngology, laryngoscopy belongs to the most productive methods of studying susceptible to the disease. Although direct diagnostic method provides an ENT doctor with comprehensive information about the status of the body, the procedure is not appointed in the following situations:

  • with a confirmed epilepsy diagnosis;
  • injury to cervical vertebrae;
  • in diseases of the heart, myocardial infarction in the acute phase;
  • in the case of pronounced stenotic breathing;
  • during pregnancy, as well as allergies for medication for preparation for endoscopy.

Interestingly: for a detailed review of voice ligaments, as well as the overall state of the larynx use microlaryngoscopy. The delicate inspection is performed using a rigid endoscope equipped with a camera. The tool is introduced through the mouth without an additional cut on the neck area. Manipulation usually accompanies the microsurgery of the larynx, perform it under general anesthesia.

With fluorescent microlaryngoscopy, an additional preparation will be introduced. Sodium fluorescene allows you to assess the condition of the larynx tissues in different degrees of absorption of the fluorescent substance. Thanks to innovative technologies, a new method of endoscopy appeared - Fibergolaryngoshot. The procedure is carried out by a fibroscope with a moving flexible end, providing an overview of all departments of the larynx.

Many different research methods are used to diagnose different pathologies. However, the most modern, information refers endoscopy of the ENT organs. It allows you to recognize the pathological hearth at the initial stage of its development, to determine its nature, which helps to assign adequate treatment.

Characteristic method

Endoscopic study of ENT organs belongs to a small-acting method, which allows not only to diagnose diseases, but also carry out some procedures. The endoscope has the form of an instrument equipped with a flexible tube thickness of not more than 4 mm. One end has a chamber with a flashlight, the other is eyepiece.

This method allows you to inspect the internal organs through the nasal moves or after the puncture. It is possible to perform the procedure in different angles with a strong exaggeration of the image. This greatly facilitates the diagnosis. The study lasts a few minutes, after which the patient has the opportunity to immediately go home.

Indications

The endoscopy of nasopharynx is required if available:

  • difficult breathing;
  • deterioration of smell;
  • discharge from the nose;
  • nose bleeding;
  • frequent headaches;
  • constant noise in the ears;
  • delay in the development of speech in children;
  • snoring.

In addition, the procedure is necessary in the presence of the following diseases:

  • angina;
  • sinusitis;
  • rhinitis;
  • halfline;
  • pharyngitis;
  • frontitis;
  • hymorite;
  • inflamed lattice maze.

Often, endoscopy is prescribed with increased adenoids. It allows you to determine the degree of cracking of lymphoid tissue. In addition, testimony for diagnostics is the injury of soft fabrics of the face, curvature of the nasal partition. It is appointed before performing the operational intervention of the nasopharynx, in the postoperative period.

Endoscopy is used to treat adenoids in children

What determines

The endoscopy of the nasopharynk is carried out with doubts due to the diagnosis or, if necessary, determining the degree of the disease. By conducting endoscopic research

  • it is possible to detect even the slightest changes in the pathological nature on the mucous membrane. Using the procedure, you can determine the presence:
  • tumor processes of various origin;
  • the growth of adenoid fabric;
  • pathological processes of a Gaimore sinus;
  • polyposis of different sizes;
  • disorders of the structure of the nasopharynx.

By holding endoscopy, the doctor gets an image enlarged 30 times. Due to what perhaps better conducting surgical intervention.

How the study is carried out

It is allowed to carry out endoscopy to children from 3 years of age. Before the procedure is an anesthesia of the nasal cavity by lidocaine. The drug in the form of spray is used to spray in the nasopharynx, the gel is lubricated the equipment tip. After anesthesia, the patient experiences temporary discomfort in the shape of tingling, burning.

Next, the patient needs to be located in a chair with a trapped head. This pose allows you to better consider the organs as a result of the pupil straightening. After anesthesia, an endoscope is introduced by careful movements.

The image is displayed. Each sinus of the nose is visible alternately. If there are testimony, then with the help of the procedure, an operational intervention is carried out, in which the mucous membrall does not occur.

When conducting this operation there is no risk to open strong bleeding, it does not leave scars, scars. If the patient takes drugs that dilute blood, then it is necessary to prevent the doctor about it so as not to provoke nasal bleeding.

During the procedure, the patient must be in a calm state, he should not move. If discomfort occurs, the painful sensation is possible to provide a doctor who holds the procedure. There are endoscopes, specialized for adults and children. If there is a desire, the patient can see the image on the screen.

Contraindications

There are no absolute contraindications for endoscopic procedure. Relative contraindications include:

  • the presence of an allergic reaction to lidocaine and other anesthetic preparations used for local anesthesia;
  • template to nasal bleeding. If the patient is inclined to bleeding from the nose, then you need to warn your doctor. In this situation, the procedure is performed with the finest endoscope;
  • excessive sensitivity of the mucous membrane;
  • reduced blood coagulation;
  • weediness of vessels;
  • some neurotic disorders.


For endoscopic research of children, a thinner tube is used

Consequences of the procedure

Many patients scares the negative consequence of nasopharynx endoscopy. Typically, the procedure is carried out without any problems, but sometimes it may occur:

  • allergic reaction to painkillers;
  • discomfort during the procedure, pain in the nasopharynx or for a minor time after it;
  • difficulties of swallowing, swelling of the pharynx, with the result that the respiratory function can slightly deteriorate;
  • nausea, hoarseness. To make it easier for the fortune to use a rinse with a warm soda solution;
  • bleeding from the nose;
  • if the fabric fence was taken during the procedure, then the appearance of a cough with blood clots. Unpleasant symptoms will be held independently, a few days later;
  • dizziness.

When conducting an endoscopic procedure, experienced specialist such troubles occur extremely rarely. The pain is eliminated by anesthesia. During the introduction of an endoscope of the patient, a slight pressure that does not provide danger can feel. For small patients, a flexible tool is used, which eliminates the injury to the mucous membrane. The endoscopy of the nasopharynk allows you to detect different pathologies, determine their nature, conduct research.

The usual inspection of the nasal cavity does not make it possible to estimate all its anatomical structures. Their part of them is not available to visual inspection due to location. Therefore, ENT organ endoscopy is applied to their research.

In Russia, this method has been used for more than two decades. Thanks to the successful development of technologies, endoscopic equipment gets more and more opportunities. For example, the image obtained using the apparatus is transmitted to the monitor and allows you to record during the study.

Endoscopic rhinoscopy.

Indications for endoscopy

A child, as well as an adult person, is appointed such a study with the following testimony:

  • Violation of normal nasal breathing.
  • Connecting a nose that does not buy ordinary means.
  • Pain and unpleasant sensations in the incomplete sinuses.
  • Snore.
  • Reduced hearing acuity.
  • Swallowing disorders.

For inspection with an endoscope, there are no absolute contraindications. If the patient has disorders of the coagulation system of blood, as well as allergies to drugs, this should be warned in advance.

Preparation for research

Of particular preparation for such an inspection is not required. If the study is carried out as a diagnosis of child diseases, his parents must explain the baby that they do not need to be afraid of the doctor and this survey. They must tell that the survey takes a few minutes and passes painlessly.

The advantage of endoscopy is the lack of unpleasant sensations during the procedure, which allows you to successfully apply it in children.

Lor Endoscope

For anesthesia, anesthetic is used containing lidocaine. It is applied to the tip of the endoscope tube and spray them the altarlot. In the latter case, anesthetic is applied in the form of a spray. It provides numbers of tissues in the study area, allowing you to enter an endoscope, avoiding unpleasant sensations. Drugs are used from medicines in the form of droplets or spray. Their action reduces the swelling of the mucous membrane and improves the overview.

Methods of holding in children and adults

Children are allowed to perform endoscopy of ENT organs from a three-year-old age. The general method of performing manipulation in patients of different age is no different. Differences may be associated with the testimony for which an endoscopic study is prescribed, but the technique itself is the same.

The procedure is carried out in the following sequence:

  • The patient is located in the chair and throws the head. This is done to facilitate the inspection of ENT organs, which is achieved through the straightening of the pharynx line when the head is backpacking back.
  • Next, the specialist introduces the tool in the ear, nose or a throat, depending on what the testimony has been from the procedure.
  • If a patient is a child or a sensitive mucosa holder, anesthesia is carried out by the above preparations.
  • The doctor gets an image of the organ under study with further advancement of the endoscope.

Nose and nasopharynx video

At the end of the procedure, the specialist pulls the device and prints or retains the pictures of those areas in which problems have been identified. Their foundation provides conclusion and recommendations for further treatment.

Opportunities Endoscope

Due to its small size and a flexible tube, the endoscopop access is much wider than the usual inspection can give. The device can see and help the expert estimate:

  • The degree and prevalence of inflammation.
  • The presence of pus or mucus.
  • The degree of development of adenoids, polyps or other neoplasms.
  • Hypertrophy mucosa.

Do I need to do endoscopy? Due to the wide possibilities of the method of its purpose, it is advisable, and in some cases it is even necessary, for example, with hearing pathologies and adenoids.

VideoDoscopy.

This is a modern research method that has advantages over ordinary endoscopy:

  • Improved inspection quality.
  • Ability to record a study in high quality.

In essence, there are no other differences from endoscopy. But it is thanks to the ability to record the entire course of the study in a video format, you can play it at any time and compare it later with other results. The preservation of the results helps in building the most successful line of treatment and control of the events already performed.

Production of research records helps in control of the quality of therapy and further diagnostics.

Improving the quality of the camcorder allows you to significantly increase the level of diagnosis. As a result, the likelihood of various pathological processes in the early stages increases.

Where can I get a study?

Endoscopy is carried out in specialized Laor departments of hospitals and in the usual clinic. Also, private centers are also offered their services. You can navigate in this abundance of choice by several parameters:

  • Availability.
  • The level of training of specialists.

The endoscopy of the nose is an important diagnostic method that allows you to identify a number of pathologies. This method of research is considered budget and highly informative.

The procedure is carried out using a miniature endoscope, which is a thin wire with the camera at the end. This device allows you to study in detail the state of the mucous membrane of the nasal strokes. The manipulation is painless, may be accompanied by minor discomfort. Endoscopic study of organs is more informative compared with the standard inspection.

The camera increases the image, which allows not to miss even the slightest deviations from the norm. The equipment is equipped with a flashlight that makes it possible to learn all the details and do not miss pathological changes in tissues. Inspection of the ENT organs does not take much time.

It hurts during the procedure. Discomfort occurs only in persons with a curved nasal partition. In this case, the chamber is hampered, and the doctor can make minor efforts and change the trajectory, which can help the emergence of unpleasant sensations during the survey.

Nose

The study of the gaymorek sinuses using optical devices allows to identify polyps, inflammatory diseases and various neoplasms.

GORTANY

The study of the pharynx cavity is necessary to identify diseases associated with a change in voice, the formation of neoplasms, tumors.

Ear

The study of the Ear region allows you to identify inflammatory processes that often lead to deafness and other hearing impairments.

Types of endoscopy

An inspection of the nasophack mucosa can be made in several ways. It all depends on the nature of the symptoms and age of the patient.

Front

Rososcopy is carried out using the introduction of an endoscope to a depth of no more than 2 cm. In this case, local anesthetics can be used to get rid of unpleasant sensations.

Rear

Inspection are carried out through the mouth. The device is introduced deep to the wall of the pharynx. Despite the discomfort of manipulation, this type of study allows you to identify adenoids, tumors and polyps in the early stages. This method is applied only in rare cases and with suspicion of dangerous diseases.

Average

This method of research allows you to diagnose the state of the anterior apparent sinuses. Manipulation is carried out using an elongated tool through nasal moves. At the same time, local anesthetics and vasoconstrictor drops are often used, which eliminate the swelling of the mucous membrane.

Straight

Largeoscopy is carried out using a moving tool that is introduced into the cavity of the larynx. The procedure can be unpleasant for the patient and often provokes vomit urge, so before manipulation, the throat is irrigated by the "lidocaine". The use of microlaryngoscopy allows you to identify a wide range of larynx diseases.

Indirect

The procedure is carried out using a special mirror, which is placed in the area of \u200b\u200bthe larynx. At the same time, a front reflector is fixed on the doctor's head, which reflects the light. Manipulation lasts no more than 5 minutes, but does not give such detailed information as a direct research method.

Surgical

The surgical method is applied not only with the diagnostic, but also the medical goal. Manipulation can be accompanied by minor cuts and punctures. Often, with the help of this method, pathological foci is eliminated, produce tissue biopsy for histological examination. Such a way implies the use of anesthesia.

Indications for the procedure

The procedure is used for symptoms and pharynx. Endoscopic examination is carried out with suspicion of neoplasms: benign and malignant. Additional readings:

  • the presence of inflammatory processes occurring in the cavity of the nose and pharynx;
  • polyps;
  • an increase in adenoids;
  • difficulties in breathing nose;
  • pain in sinuses;
  • changing the voice, the appearance of hoarseness;
  • the feeling of the foreign body in the larynx during a conversation or when swallowing food.

The survey shows the presence of purulent foci, the amount of altered tissue and other transformations of the mucous membrane, including micro-damage.

Terms of examination

Research is recommended for an empty stomach. Special rules do not exist, the procedure is fast and painless. If there is a mucosa secret in the sinuses, then it is important to viscose so that nothing bothered the study. The doctor conducts a procedure in gloves, having previously disinfected the endoscope. Diagnosis is carried out at the patient's position sitting or lying.

Preparation

The doctor notifies the patient that on the eve of the study it is forbidden to burn any solutions to the nose, use nasal ointments and other means that may make it difficult to carry out manipulation.

It is important to refrain from smoking. The child needs to be configured to endoscopy, explaining how research will be held. It is important that during the diagnostics a person was in a stationary state.

Technology holding

Most often, during the procedure, the patient is in a special chair. Each type of research is carried out in different ways. When using the direct method, 2 thin and closed branches are used. The patient is asked to throw the head, and the tool is introduced for several centimeters in the bow. Then the branches slightly spread and inspect the sinuses using special optical equipment.

The rear method of research is carried out with a spatula, which is removed from the larynx. Then the device is introduced as deep as possible, reaching the wall of the pharynx. To reduce the likelihood of vomiting, you need to breathe only to the nose. Before the procedure is prohibited to eat and drink.

The average type of technique involves entering the branches through the nasal strokes and the study using an optical device. Before manipulating the nasopharynk is irrigated by an anesthetic solution, and the throatory remedy is injected into the nose.

Surgical method requires longer preparation. In this case, various types of anesthesia can be applied. Often, during the manipulation, a screw of the nasal mucosa tissue is produced in order to get rid of chronic rhinitis. A small fragment of the material in the presence of polyps is sent to the laboratory for more thorough diagnosis.

An indiscriminate view of the study is used in any polyclinic. The patient sits on the chair, slightly throwing the head and sticking out the tongue. The doctor introduces the mirror in the larynx and inspects the sky almonds and the throat. At the same time, the slightest deviations from the norm are well visualized.

The direct method is often carried out using a movable laryngoscope. The rigid technique with a rigidly fixed apparatus is used when conducting surgical intervention. Before starting the procedure, the patient explains the sequence of steps. This method is carried out using general anesthesia.

The laryngoscope is introduced through the larynx and promote deep. This method is considered the most informative.

Features of endoscopy in children

The study of the nasal cavity and the child's pharynx is carried out in the presence of parents. Often the implementation of the manipulation is complicated by the fact that children are harder to be in a fixed state for 5-10 minutes. For diagnosis, the most painless techniques are chosen, which are practically devoid of discomfort.

If still the procedure implies additional surgical intervention, then the child should be prepared thoroughly. To begin with, they are determined whether allergies are present to any medicines. Conduct special samples. In order for the procedure itself, it does not cause a shock from the child, he is told and showing what tools will be applied during the study and what they need.

It is important to pay attention to anesthesia. Therefore, even when using the most minimally invasive techniques, local anesthetics are used. The child, as well as an adult, is important to refrain from food and drink. Children explain the rules of behavior during the introduction of the endoscope. If this is not enough, then in extreme cases resort to the use of common anesthesia.

For the manipulation of children use an endoscope no more than 2 mm in diameter. It does not create discomfort, it is easily moving along the nasal sinuses and does not injure them. The specialist tries to enter the instrument extremely gently so that there is no sense of the foreign body. At the end of the procedure, it is important to ensure that the child does not pick into the nose.

What are there contraindications

The main contraindications are constant nose bleeding. If the vessels are too thin and weak, then the risk of their damage is high. Therefore, before resorting to endoscopy, it is important to check the condition of the venous apparatus, as well as pass the blood to the rate of platelets aggregation.

An additional contraindication is an increased vomit reflex. At the same time, there are often no ways based on the deep introduction of the instrument in the larynx. The procedure is not carried out during pregnancy. Endoscopy is contraindicated at heart age, since the sinuses of the nose is easy to injure.

With a strong increase in almonds, the manipulation is not carried out, since such a clinical picture makes it difficult to visualize tissues. Contraindication is an allergic reaction to painkillers. The procedure is not carried out in the treatment of anticoagulants, since when random damage to the vessel is high, the likelihood of bleeding, which will be difficult to stop.

With a curved nasal partition, a children's endoscope is used, which reduces the risk of unpleasant sensations. If a person has allergies to local anesthetics, and endoscopy is needed, then the easiest option is chosen, which can be carried out without the use of anesthesia.

The contraindication is the unstable mental state of the patient, the presence of schizophrenia, disorders of the central nervous system.

Endoscopy of the ENT organs or LOR endoscopy is therapeutic and diagnostic manipulation (procedure), which allows for a survey and treatment of ENT organs at a qualitatively new level, compared with traditional methods, and is currently considered to be "gold standard" in medical practice . LOR-ENDoscopy is the study of the inner surfaces of the ENT organs: an external auditory passage, the oral cavity and the rotogling and a nasal cavity by introducing endoscopes with different angles of view, carrying out therapeutic and surgical manipulations.
This manipulation, aimed at examining the union of non-invasive (small-scale) and practically harmless. For example, for children who have hypertrophies adenoids instead of x-ray studies of the nasopharynx, are far from harmless, a visual inspection is used using a 4mm video endoscope, which allows you to get a high-quality color image is much more informative than X-ray.
We also want to note that other studies (inspections) using video endoscopy have undeniable advantages, before other methods:
- Endoscopy is painless and takes only a few minutes;
- an x-ray alternative to evaluate the degree of development of the disease;
- no harmful irradiation;
- identifies pathology, not visible in the usual Lor inspection (inspection of voice ligaments, for example ...);
- the doctor can visually assess the degree of real inflammation;
- With the help of an endoscope, you can control the effectiveness of treatment through any period of time and, if necessary, adjust the destination.
It should be noted that all the received photo video materials can be easily maintained on a computer, in chronological order, which in turn makes it possible to observe the course of the disease in the dynamics and conduct treatment with the greatest efficiency.
In the medical center, the assembly is offered a quick and painless endoscopy of ENT organs in a comfortable environment. If necessary, the study is carried out under local anesthesia, which significantly reduces the unpleasant sensations, including, suppresses the vomit reflex. The study holds an ENT doctor accompanied by a medical sister.
In our medical center, all inspections conducted by a otorinolaryngologist, including repeated, are carried out with the mandatory application of video-endographic technology.
Medical Center "Active-Medical" is equipped with modern equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of ENT diseases. In particular, all the cabinets where the reception of otoidolaryngologists are taking, equipped with MEGAMEDICAL LOR-Combines. This Lor Combine allows you to carry out all the necessary manipulations and procedures, any degree of complexity, including surgical interventions.
For the convenience of patients, in the "Active-Medical", the cabins of ENT doctors are available in all compartments.
It should be known that consultation of an otorinolaryngologist using endoscopy is necessary at the following symptoms:
- nasal congestion and the difficulty of nasal respiration;
- dependence on vasoconducting droplets;
- selection from the nose;
- accumulation of mucus in the nasopharynk;
- headaches, pain in the eye, nose, faces;
- weakening sense of smell;
- itching, pain or noise in the ear;
- selection from the ear;
- reduction of hearing;
- pain, discomfort, witness or "lump" throat;
- unpleasant smell of mouth;
- traffic jams in almonds;
- the appearance of hoarseness, mascost;
- foreign items in the nose, ears, throat;
- bleeding from the nose;
- snoring.
