sophisticated endoscopes under good practioners are extremely safe with minimal complications which happen during a procedure like injury to teeth or nearby structures..some patient complain of throat pain due to laryngeal swelling caused by trauma..but these complications are manageable in good hospital set up..for nodule i suggest after exicsion to prevent recurrence avoid vocal abuse or misuse.
