This in an in-office procedure which can be used in some cases as an alternative to in-hospital day surgery EGD (Traditional Endoscopy) used to inspect the internal anatomy of the digestive tract. A simple "nose-spray" type preparation is administered which numbs the nasal passages down to where a patient swallows. A "spaghetti size" flexible scope is gently inserted through the nasal passage, then easily swallowed and moved down into the top of the stomach. Patients experience no pain and the sensation is tolerated well by a majority of patients.
Patients who suffer from chronic heartburn pain, reflux or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) whose symptoms cannot be controlled with medication may consider this in-office procedure as a diagnostic tool to determine if they have a hiatal hernia or some other cause for their symptoms.
