A diagnostic laryngoscopy is a procedure in which the surgeon examines your larynx, or voice box, with a laryngoscope. A laryngoscope is a tube that has a camera attached that allows the surgeon to see inside your larynx.

In the cases of feeling a lump, a biopsy may be performed at the same time as the laryngoscopy.
