Trans-nasal endoscopy for bariatric patients
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a thinner, more comfortable endoscope that goes through the nose instead of the mouth for patients who need an upper GI exam. It may be a gentler option for weight-loss surgery patients.
