Revolutionizing voice health: Videostroboscopy at Yashoda Hospitals

Conditions like vocal cord lesions and paralysis can cause patients to frequently experience changes in their voice or hoarseness. Videostroboscopy, a diagnostic technique, ensures high accuracy rates in assessing vocal cord function and diagnosing any voice disorders by using real-time visualization of vocal cord vibrational movements, which are difficult to see with the unaided eye. 

Yashoda Hospitals, one of the India’s top ENT centers, provides advanced voice solutions through surgical procedures and diagnosis using cutting-edge equipment like video stroboscopy to ensure the best vocal health.

Who needs Videostroboscopy?

• An individual with vocal problems such as paralysis of the cords.
• An individual with swallowing difficulty 
• An individual with changes in their voice for unknown reasons lasting for longer duration
• In people with benign polyps on their vocal cords who have trouble speaking or singing.
• An individual in need of throat clearance due to consistent coughing irritation in the throat.

How is a Videostroboscopy done?

Before the procedure begins, topical anesthesia is sprayed inside your nose. This anesthesia eventually spreads to your throat, causing numbness that makes a videotrobocopy diagnosis simple.

To examine the vocal cord, an endoscope is placed into the back of the throat either through your mouth or through your nose.  The patient is then told to make sounds so that their vocalizations can be recorded by a microphone that is fastened to their neck. Additionally, the stroboscope, which has a camera and flashing light with a frequency lower than the vibration of the vocal cords, produces a visual slow motion effect that helps to understand the movement of the vocal cords, rule out the causes for better therapy, and ensure better outcomes, improving voice disorders.

Benefits of Videostroboscopy:

• An efficient navigation method for vocal cord-related conditions assessment & treatment plan.
