Transnasal Endoscopy Implementation

Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a simple procedure used to examine the foodpipe (oesopahgus), stomach, and part of the small intestine. TNE is less invasive than traditional endoscopy and can be done in a regular clinic without needing an operating theatre. It usually only requires a throat spray for comfort instead of sedation, which allows patients to go home within 15 minutes after the procedure.

Patients often find TNE more comfortable than traditional methods, and they talk and breathe normally throughout. Overall, people report high satisfaction with TNE, and say it helps make the whole experience quicker and easier.
