Advanced Diagnostics with a Video Fibroscope

Thanks to our new video fibroscope, we can offer detailed diagnostics for disorders of the upper respiratory tract, larynx, throat, and sinuses. The video fibroscope provides a precise image of internal structures, greatly facilitating accurate health assessment and swift treatment decisions.

When Should You Consider a Video Fibroscope Examination?

The video fibroscope exam is beneficial in diagnosing:

• chronic sinusitis,
• recurring upper respiratory tract infections,
• swallowing difficulties (dysphagia),
• chronic hoarseness or other voice disorders,
• suspected polyps or tumors in the throat and larynx,
• other conditions in the throat, nose, and larynx.

This examination is especially valuable when traditional diagnostic methods do not provide a complete picture, and a quick diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

How Is the Video Fibroscope Examination Conducted?

The video fibroscope exam is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that requires no special preparation from the patient. It includes several simple steps:

1. Patient Preparation – The patient is informed about the procedure, and, if necessary, a local anesthetic spray is used to minimize discomfort.
2. Inserting the Video Fibroscope – The doctor gently inserts a thin, flexible tube with a camera (fibroscope) into the patient’s nose or mouth, depending on the area that requires examination.
3. Real-Time Image Viewing – The camera at the end of the device transmits an image to a monitor, allowing the doctor to carefully examine the structures of the upper respiratory tract, larynx, and throat.
4. Result Analysis – The examination usually takes only a few minutes, after which the doctor discusses the results with the patient and decides on the next steps.

Video fibroscopy is comfortable for the patient and serves as an extremely valuable tool in diagnosing laryngological diseases, enabling quicker and more precise health assessments.

At Mediss Medical Clinic, we treat various conditions, including:

Laryngitis, Pharyngitis, and Tonsillitis

Laryngitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis are common conditions that can lead to serious health complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and fever can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. At Mediss Medical Clinic in Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, we conduct a full range of diagnostic tests, including laryngoscopy, which allows us to accurately diagnose the problem and initiate appropriate treatment.

Course of Laryngitis

Laryngitis most often occurs due to viral infections such as the flu or colds but can also result from vocal strain, exposure to tobacco smoke, or other irritants. In chronic cases, it can lead to serious voice issues. Treatment usually involves resting the voice, moisturizing the throat, and using anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications.

Course of Pharyngitis

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Symptoms include sore throat, dryness, and swallowing difficulties. At Mediss Medical Clinic, we use modern treatment methods, and in cases of bacterial infections, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.

Tonsillitis – Diagnosis and Treatment

Tonsillitis (angina) is another common laryngological disease, with symptoms including severe sore throat, fever, and enlarged tonsils. Diagnosis involves a clinical examination and laboratory tests, including a throat culture, to identify the pathogen. Depending on the cause, treatment may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, in some cases, tonsil removal.

Sinusitis – Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Sinusitis can result from viral, bacterial, or fungal infections. Symptoms include headache, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, and reduced sense of smell. At our clinic in Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, we offer comprehensive diagnostics, including allergy tests. Sinusitis treatment includes anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, and, in some cases, surgical procedures.

Ear Infections – Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Ear infections, whether external or middle ear, may result from bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Symptoms include ear pain, discharge, fever, and hearing disturbances. At Mediss Medical Clinic in Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, we offer full diagnostics, including otoscopic and audiological examinations. Treatment may involve antibiotics, pain relievers, and, in cases of chronic ear infections, surgical procedures such as ear drainage.

Salivary Gland Diseases – Diagnosis and Treatment

Diseases of the salivary glands, including infections, stones, or tumors, can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty speaking and eating. At Mediss Medical Clinic, we offer ultrasound diagnostics or, in special cases, referral for imaging tests to precisely diagnose the issue. Treatment includes pharmacotherapy, endoscopic procedures, and surgical removal of stones or tumors.
