Core Tip	Although esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is considered the gold standard technique for evaluation of mucosal esophageal diseases, the cost and invasiveness of this diagnostic tool limits its utilization in some patients. Thus, in recent years several endoscopy techniques have been developed as alternatives and less invasive diagnostic tools for evaluating gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal varices. Here, in this study we have shown that unsedated esophagoscopy using a novel disposable transnasal esophagoscope (E.G. Scan?) is a safe, well-tolerated, effective and accurate screening tool for esophageal diseases, specifically for esophageal varices.
