Hospiten Riviera Maya reaffirms its commitment to medical innovation by incorporating new high-tech equipment in the area of otorhinolaryngology, the only one of its kind in the region. The arrival of stroboscopy represents a great advance in diagnostic precision and disease prevention, offering high-definition endoscopy for ear, throat and larynx.

Among the procedures that can be performed with this equipment, three stand out:

• Nose endoscopy: it is used to make revisions of the nasal cavity and rhinopharynx, that is, the back part of the nose, where it confluences with the beginning of the ears through the Eustachian tube. It can be done with a rigid endoscope or with a nasofibroendoscope, which is a flexible fiber.
• Ear endoscopy: its main use is to be able to show patients the external auditory canal and the tympanic membrane, which greatly facilitates the explanation of the conditions.
• Laryngeal endoscopy: allows the review of the vocal cords and hypopharynx structures. It is very useful for exploring pharyngeal lesions, foreign bodies (such as fish bones) and lesions of the vocal cords.
• Video laryngeal stroboscopy: shows the fine movement of the vocal cords; it is very useful for singers, speakers and any voice professional. It also allows assessing the mobility of the cords in the presence of suspected cancer processes, since a fine alteration of the mobility would translate into an invasion of the deep planes of the vocal cord. Ideally it is performed by rigid endoscope through the mouth to visualize the vocal cords, but it can also be performed through the nose with the nasofibroendoscope. In addition, this technology allows the recording of images and videos, which represents a great advance in the documentation and follow-up of diagnoses.

Innovative equipment for vocal health

Stroboscopy or video stroboscopy has become a key tool for the accurate diagnosis of vocal cord disorders. Thanks to its light system synchronized with vocal vibrations, it allows the movement of the vocal cords to be visualized in slow motion, facilitating the identification of benign, malignant or traumatic lesions.

Dr. Humberto Giorge, ENT specialist at Hospiten Riviera Maya, stresses the importance of this high-precision equipment: "We can detect details that would be imperceptible to the human eye, achieving more accurate diagnoses and timely treatment," says the specialist.

In the event of any change in the voice, discomfort or vocal fatigue, it is essential to see a specialist for a timely evaluation. With the incorporation of this new technology, Hospiten Riviera Maya offers the possibility of more precise diagnoses that will allow the appropriate treatment to be personalized for each patient.
