Out-of-hours dedicated trans-nasal endoscopy service – a model for endoscopy recovery during COVID pandemic

ABSTRACT

PTH-35 Table 1ConclusionsThese data show TNE is safe and has a high completion rate (94%). Biopsy size was acceptable, and able to provide sufficient tissue for diagnosis in all cases. The number of biopsies for assessment of EoE and BE was sufficient, despite large number needed, confirming previous reports on tolerability of the procedureIn an era of extreme pressure on endoscopy services, we demonstrate that a novel dedicated TNE service can be employed to reduce waiting times without loss of quality.
