Good Afternoon,

Not sure exactly what you need re: Epiglottoplexy or Supraglottoplasty? You need to expand on what you are looking for.

With regards to a Directly Laryngosocpy, it is just that, if it's placed in suspension and a 0 degree scope is brought in, now you are looking at "with operating microscope or telescope", they refer to these as Microlaryngoscopy with suspension, see CPT 31536, 31541, 31561, and 31571.

Hope this helps!
