Nasolaryngoscopy is easy to learn and safe and convenient to perform. It is readily accepted by patients and is a rich source of clinical information. The flexible nasolaryngoscope allows the physician to directly observe the anatomy of the nasal passages, pharynx and larynx. The procedure is helpful for identifying the etiology of chronic nasal complaints and hoarseness. Other possible indications for nasolaryngoscopy include suspected nasal foreign body, recurrent nasal or pharyngeal bleeding, and epiglottitis. With the use of this instrument, treatment of otolaryngologic conditions may be more specific, thereby reducing unnecessary referral or delay in treatment.
鼻咽喉镜检查易于学习，操作安全便捷。它很容易被患者接受，是丰富的临床信息来源。可弯曲鼻咽喉镜使医生能够直接观察鼻腔、咽部和喉部的解剖结构。该检查有助于确定慢性鼻部不适和声音嘶哑的病因。鼻咽喉镜检查的其他可能适应证包括疑似鼻腔异物、反复鼻出血或咽出血以及会厌炎。使用该仪器，耳鼻喉科疾病的治疗可能会更具针对性，从而减少不必要的转诊或治疗延误。
