Abstract

Transnasal Esophagoscopy allows the upper aerodigestive tract, from the nasal cavity to the gastric cardia to be examined in the outpatients department. It is well tolerated by patient with topical anesthesia alone and no sedation or patient preparation is required. The technique is easily learned and performed in the otolaryngologist and highly cost efficient. It is a useful tool for accurate diagnosis and can be used in a variety of office-based procedures.
