This procedure examines the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for cancer, ulcers, and polyps. Unlike gastroscopy and colonoscopy, transnasal endoscopy does not require sedation, meaning you will be awake during the procedure. It also has a quicker recovery time, allowing you to return to your regular activities immediately. You can drive, work, and resume your daily routine right after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
