No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Improvements in imaging technology have allowed for the development of small endoscopes ("slim scopes") half the size of a typical endoscope. These small endoscopes can be passed transnasally into the esophagus and stomach with only local anesthesia to the nasal passage without the need for deep sedation. They have been used in the detection of diseases of the esophagus and stomach,3,4 but have not been used in the detection of complications in the post bariatric population
