Transnasal oesophagoscopy is a convenient method for doing oesophagoscopy. It is done by a thin 5.9 mm diameter flexible endoscope through nasal passage.¹ Patient tolerates this procedure very well. No sedation is required for this procedure. Only nose is anaesthetized locally by xylocaine 2%, and decongested by xylometazoline. No xylocaine sray is needed for throat, as some patients do not tolerate is throat numbness and feel dyspnic.² TNE procedure takes shorter time and alleviates the diagnostic delay. This procedure can be done for diagnosing various pathologies of oesophagus, can be used for screening of barrate, s oesophagus. Biopsy can be done easily by 2mm channel.

Keywords: TNE, Unsedated endoscopy, Transoral endoscopy.
