Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) offers a minimally invasive approach to visualize the esophagus.
  • Understanding the diagnostic yield and clinical utility of TNE in an otolaryngology practice is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique, indications, findings, and outcomes of transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) in an academic otolaryngology setting.
  • To evaluate the impact of TNE on patient management and its role as an alternative to traditional endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of the first 30 patients undergoing TNE.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, procedure indications, findings, and subsequent management.

Main Results:

  • TNE identified various esophageal abnormalities, including Barrett's esophagus, esophagitis, and gastritis.
  • Positive findings directly influenced patient management, leading to referrals, biopsies, or medical treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) is effective in detecting a wide range of esophageal conditions in an outpatient otolaryngology setting.
  • TNE provides a safe and efficient alternative to sedated endoscopy, expediting patient care and interventions.
