Content typically covers indications, contraindications, equipment, and preparation. The procedure overview describes patient positioning, topical anesthesia and decongestants, insertion through the nostril, visualization of the nasal cavity and choanae, and the potential to take tissue samples. The site also explains what patients may feel during the exam, such as mild pressure or a sensation of fullness, and how long it lasts.

Safety and risks are summarized, including discomfort, nosebleed, transient lightheadedness, infection, and rare complications. The page emphasizes that endoscopy should be performed by trained clinicians in appropriate settings, with informed consent and sterile technique.
