What to Expect After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery:
Your doctor can usually make the diagnosis based on the physical exam. Other methods that might be used to diagnose acute sinusitis and rule out other conditions include: Nasal endoscopy. A thin, flexible tube (endoscope) with a fiber-optic light inserted through your nose allows your doctor to visually inspect the inside of your sinuses.
The sinuses are a group of spaces formed by the bones of your face. They connect with your nasal cavity. This is the air-filled space behind your nose. During the procedure, the healthcare provider inserts the endoscope into your nose. He or she guides it through your nasal and sinus passages. Images of the area can be seen through the endoscope.
Nasal Endoscopy - CPT 31231.
During nasal endoscopy, your healthcare provider inserts an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera) into your nose. This gives them a clear, inside view of your sinuses and nasal passages. Nasal endoscopy aids in diagnosing and treating a range of health conditions.

ICD-10-CM Code for Postnasal drip R09. 82.
A nasal endoscope is an instrument that consists of a rigid, thin tube with fiber-optic cables. It connects to a video camera and light source where magnified images project onto a screen. The otolaryngologist then captures and records the endoscopic images to document for each patient.
In particular, a laryngoscopy is an endoscopy that allows visualization of the larynx and pharynx, which are parts of the throat. A laryngoscopy may be combined with a biopsy in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis of a suspicious growth in the throat.
