Flexible laryngoscopy (say "lair-en-GOS-kuh-pee") is a test that lets your doctor look at your throat and voice box (larynx). The doctor uses a thin, flexible tube, called a scope, to look deep into your throat.
This test is done to find the cause of voice problems, ear and throat pain, or swallowing problems. It also may be done to check for throat tumors or injuries.
