What is Flexible Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy (FOL)?
Flexible Fiberoptic Laryngoscopy (FOL) is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the throat, vocal cords, and larynx (voice box) using a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera (fiberoptic scope). The scope is inserted through the nose or mouth, allowing the doctor to visually assess the larynx, vocal cords, and surrounding tissues for abnormalities such as inflammation, tumors, polyps, or infections.
The procedure is minimally invasive, usually performed in an office setting, and requires no anesthesia, although a local numbing spray may be used. It's commonly used to evaluate hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, or other voice-related issues.
What to expect & how to prepare
This is an interventional procedure carried out by a specialist doctor, not a walk-in laboratory test. The doctor performing it will explain the steps, the sedation or anaesthesia used, and the recovery time before you give written consent.
- Referral: bring the referral or advice from the doctor who requested this procedure, along with earlier reports and imaging.
- Fasting and medication: fasting time and instructions about blood thinners, diabetes medicines or other drugs come from the performing doctor and are specific to this procedure — follow those instructions, not general lab advice.
- Consent: you will be asked for written informed consent, and you can ask about risks and alternatives before signing.
- Companion: if sedation is planned, arrange for someone to travel home with you.
Interventional procedures carry procedure-specific risks. Discuss your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status and current medicines with the performing doctor beforehand.
Performed by a specialist team; a doctor's referral is normally required.
