It's not, necessarily. "Microlaryngoscopy is a procedure that means the vocal folds are looked at in great detail with magnification."
If you have throat cancer in the vocal folds area, then microlaryngoscopy would probably be used.

Microlaryngoscopy is done with a nasopharyngoscope which is threaded through the nose, back of the throat, larynx, and upper trachea. It is a standard tool used in identifying the site of the lesion and directing a biopsy. It is performed by an ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor).
