What to Know About Yale's Pediatric Transnasal Endoscopy Program
We spoke with Dr. Alex Koral, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Gastroenterology), about Yale's Pediatric Transnasal Endoscopy Program. Unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a procedure that can biopsy the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without needing sedation. During the procedure, a small endoscope, a small camera on a long tube, is placed into the nose and through the back of the mouth into the esophagus. The camera is able to visualize the esophagus and stomach, and biopsies are obtained through the endoscope. The results are similar to a traditional endoscopy, except there is no need for sedation. The patient is awake throughout the procedure and topical anesthetics are used to make the procedure more comfortable. During the procedure, the patient wears a headset and watches a show or movie to distract from the procedure. The whole procedure lasts about 10 minutes and patients can go home immediately after it is finished.
