What is laser laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy?

Also known as: microscopic laser laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy, microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy.

A laryngoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine and diagnose potential problems with the larynx, while a bronchoscopy does the same for the lungs and windpipe. With laser laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy a laser is used to make tiny incisions in the larynx or windpipe in order to treat potential problems.
