Role of ultrathin transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy: experience with 50 patients.
Conventional gastroscopes have a diameter of 8.8-12 mm; ultrathin endoscopes have an outer diameter of 5.3-5.9 mm. We share our experience with 50 patients who underwent transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy using an ultrathin endoscope. The indications included endoscopyassisted nasogastric tube placement in 25 patients, tight lesions not negotiable with conventional endoscope in 9, restricted...
متن کاملApplication of unsedated transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND This study evaluates the efficacy of unsedated transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer and screening of esophageal lesions. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with newly diagnosed hypopharyngeal cancer were evaluated by transnasal EGD without conscious sedation. RESULTS Twenty-two hypopharyngeal cancers arose from the pyriform sinus, and t...
متن کاملEarly experience with unsedated ultrathin 4.9 mm transnasal gastroscopy: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Unsedated transnasal gastroscopy is a technique with unverified clinical advantages. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and procedure times with transnasal gastroscopy by physicians with no previous experience in transnasal endoscopy. METHODS Unsedated transnasal gastroscopy using 4.9 mm ultrathin transnasal gastroscopes with randomization to two different biopsy forceps was pros...
متن کاملA randomized trial of topical anesthesia comparing lidocaine versus lidocaine plus xylometazoline for unsedated transnasal upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
BACKGROUND The optimal topical anesthesia regimen for unsedated transnasal endoscopy is unknown. The addition of a nasal decongestant, such as xylometazoline (X), to a topical anesthestic may improve patient comfort. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of lidocaine (L) versus L plus X (LX) for anesthesia in unsedated transnasal endoscopy. METHODS Consecutive participants of the Aklavik...
متن کاملIntraoropharyngeal U-turn method using transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
The more progress that has been made in endoscopy, the more superficial cancers have been found in the head and neck regions [1–4]. There are, however, some areas that are difficult to observe on transoral esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). In particular, only a tangential view of the radix linguae is obtained with transoral EGD. In this report, we present the procedure for an intraoropharyngeal...
