What is transnasal gastroscopy with urease test?

Transnasal gastroscopy is an endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, pylorus, and duodenum) performed with an ultra-thin endoscope inserted through the nose. The procedure causes significantly less discomfort than traditional gastroscopy and is often chosen by people who cannot tolerate oral examination. The procedure includes a urease test for Helicobacter pylori.

Benefits of transnasal gastroscopy:

Less discomfort during examination

The ultra-thin endoscope inserted through the nose causes significantly less stress and discomfort than traditional oral gastroscopy. Before the examination, the nostril is anesthetized with lidocaine solution, and a soft silicone catheter ensures the safety of the procedure.

High diagnostic quality

Despite the small size of the endoscope, the examination provides high-quality images and accurately assesses the condition of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It is also possible to perform a urease test for Helicobacter pylori.

Safety and quick return to activity

The examination is safe - mucosal damage is very rare (trace amounts of blood resolve spontaneously). After the examination, there is only a 40-minute break from eating and drinking, after which you can return to normal activities.

Is transnasal gastroscopy right for you?

The examination is intended for adults with upper gastrointestinal complaints. It is especially recommended for people who cannot tolerate traditional oral gastroscopy. Indications for the examination include: nausea and vomiting, heartburn and reflux, difficulty swallowing, feeling of fullness in the stomach, gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, iron deficiency, unexplained weight loss, and upper abdominal pain. Gastroscopy is also performed in the diagnosis of celiac disease and in people with a family history of gastrointestinal cancers.

Endoscopic evaluation of the esophagus
Endoscopic evaluation of the gastric cardia
Endoscopic evaluation of the stomach
