Esophagus Examination for Swallowing Issues

The provider examines the esophagus with a flexible esophagoscope, a tubular instrument with a light source and camera, which the provider inserts through the nose to determine the cause for a patient's symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing. The provider takes samples of any suspicious tissue by brushing or washing the area to collect cells for laboratory analysis. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
