Transnasal Endoscopy

What is a Transnasal Endoscopy?

A transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a procedure to where a flexible camera is passed through your nose, to the back of your throat, and down into your oesophagus, stomach and duodenum (small bowel).

What preparation is required for a Transnasal Endoscopy?

Do not eat anything in the 6 hours before your appointment, and only drink small sips of water. This is to make sure your stomach is empty so the endoscopist can have a clear view of your stomach. It will also make the procedure more comfortable. More information will be included within your appointment confirmation pack.
