Use of flexible transnasal esophagogastroscopy in patients with unclear globus sensation

CONCLUSION: TNE is a quick and safe examination method for diagnosing patients with an unclear globus sensation. Detection of a hiatal hernia can be seen as an indication of reflux disease. Lack of evidence of a hernia does not rule out reflux. Thus, TNE is a useful addition to pH monitoring in patients with globus sensation, because reflux-related changes in the mucosa can be recognized early and adequately treated.PMID:38592479 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01462-7
