For laryngeal cancer, which affects the aerodigestive system, laryngeal surgery is typically advised. The upper respiratory and digestive tract comprises the mouth, vocal cords, nose, throat, and windpipe. Conditions linked to the aerodigestive system typically manifest as sore throats or trouble breathing, swallowing, or speaking. While some of these conditions can be managed with medication, others need to be operated on. The process of evaluation is typically team-based. For a thorough assessment, patients typically see both a speech pathologist and an otolaryngologist. Specialists in neurology, GI, and pulmonary care may also be involved in these assessments. A thorough medical history and physical examination are part of an assessment to look for conditions including thyroid gland dysfunction or nerve compression. A laryngeal examination is also part of it, which looks at the patient's throat and larynx. A direct laryngoscopy is among the most frequently used diagnostic procedures. A thin, flexible fiberscope is inserted by the doctor through the mouth or nose and into the throat during this treatment.
