Self-performed transnasal esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the standing position

On By GIEjournalIn iGIELeave a comment

Post written by Shigenori Masaki, MD, from the Department of Surgery and Gastroenterology, Miyanomori Memorial Hospital, Sapporo, Japan. What if endoscopists could examine their own gastrointestinal tract? We investigated the optimal method for gastrointestinal endoscopists to perform esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) on themselves, evaluating the insertion route (transnasal vs transoral), body position, endoscope maneuverability, and monitor visibility. Gastrointestinal endoscopists …
