Abstract

To review and summarize the current literature on transnasal esophagoscopy, and to compare information with conventional esophagoscopy. Medline (Ovid), book chapters. A thorough review of the literature using the Medline database was performed with the following search terms: esophagoscopy, transnasal esophagoscopy, ultrathin endoscopy, and esophagoscope. The literature seems to support the equivalence of transnasal esophagoscopy and conventional esophagoscopy in image quality and diagnostic capability. It also points to some potential advantages of transnasal esophagoscopy. Transnasal esophagoscopy is a useful tool for accurate diagnosis and can be used in a variety of office procedures.
