The percentage of animals referred to the VHC for diagnoses and treatment of esophageal foreign objects is greater than the average of
esophagoscopy requests in general.

esophagoscopy under general anesthesia remains the effective and safe method of removal of foreign bodies oesophagus.
However,
esophagoscopy should be performed if a patient does not have food remains which can cause complications (bone), or there is no bolus impaction.
Issues of clinical assessment follow in chapters addressing patient history, physical examination, fiberoptic laryngoscopy, measurement of vocal fold function, transnasal
esophagoscopy, electromyography, photography and videography, medical/legal evaluation, and other topics.
Esophagoscopy revealed a large ulcer with a central fistulous opening, 28 cm from the incisor.
CHICAGO -- Transnasal
esophagoscopy easily identified esophageal abnormalities without sedation in an office-based setting during a small, prospective study.
The utility of transnasal
esophagoscopy as a screening tool was validated in a recent large study in which significant findings were identified in half of 592 procedures performed for reflux, globus, or dysphagia; the study was performed in a large tertiary care center (Laryngoscope 2005;115:321-3).
Paul Canter, who performed the procedure, told the Newcastle inquest he had performed roughly 130 successful
esophagoscopy procedures before Mrs Reed's death.
In fact, approximately 3-4 months prior to the initial office consultation, she had presented to a local emergency room for a presumed food bolus obstruction and underwent
esophagoscopy.
Fiberoptic
esophagoscopy revealed extrinsic compression of the lower esophagus and normal esophageal mucosa.
