A small catheter (tube) is then put through the endoscope and into the common bile duct, and a small amount of contrast dye is injected through the catheter. This type of procedure is known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).įor this test, a doctor passes an endoscope down into the first part of the small intestine. Upper endoscopy can be used along with x-rays to look at (and sometimes treat problems in) the pancreas and bile ducts. If suspicious areas such as enlarged lymph nodes are seen, a hollow needle can be passed through the endoscope into these areas to obtain a biopsy. The ultrasound gives off sound waves and picks up the echoes as they bounce off these structures, and the echoes are converted into an image on a computer screen. It is passed down into the digestive tract and can be pointed in different directions to look at the wall and nearby lymph nodes and other structures. From the small intestine, endoscopic ultrasound can also be used to look at the pancreas, gallbladder, or bile ducts.įor this test, an endoscope is fitted with a small ultrasound probe on its tip. For example, if there is a tumor in the wall of the esophagus or stomach, ultrasound can show how far it has grown into (or through) the wall, and if it might have reached the nearby lymph nodes. Upper endoscopy can be done as part of an endoscopic ultrasound to look at the wall of the digestive tract, as well as for nearby lymph nodes and other structures just outside the digestive tract. Or it might be done to look at an abnormal area seen on an imaging test (such as an x-ray or CT scan).

It might be done because of symptoms you are having (such as trouble swallowing, heartburn, feeling full quickly, or coughing up or vomiting blood). This test can be used to look for the causes of problems in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. I'd love to hear from other post fundo patients who experienced and overcame similar issues as a result of an endoscopy as I am in a bit of a panic.There are a few reasons you might need an upper endoscopy: You are having problems in your upper digestive tract

I'm wishing I hadn't had the scope done but I didn't feel like I had a choice as the PH tests aren't 100 reliable and I still feel reflux symptoms. But the little voice in my head tells me otherwise.

I also gagged quite a bit during the scope but the surgeon assured me that would not damage the wrap as it was not a full heaving situation. The surgeon was 100% confident of no stetching or damage to the wrap during the procedure. Has anyone else had this twitch/spasm? I have read about esophageal spasm whereby the entire esophagus can close up, but this is different and has only started after the endoscopy. I also have a sore esophagus and wrap which I am hoping will subside with time. I used to get these very rarely since the fundo procedure last year, but since yesterday have it almost constantly. Have I somehow damaged the wrap or caused some kind of permanent nerve situation that means it's going to intermittently twitch endlessly? It's almost like a purrrrrrrr - not painful but very distracting and a little uncomfortable. However, I am now very worried about this constant twitching at the wrap site as it is not abating. The results were good ie wrap not disrupted and closing when stomach full. The surgeon put the camera through the wrap and insufflated my stomach to check how the wrap looked when the stoomach was full of air, I guess to replicate it being full of food. Quite a sore throat (which I can understand though was hoping to avooid as I suffer from laryngeal papillomas that can be aggravated by trauma/bruising to the throat tissue) and also a fairly constant twitching/spasming at the wrap site. The endoscopy was yesterday and I'm feeling quite sore today. I had the PPH ambulatory and manometry tests that showed all was ok, though still felt like I was having symptoms so insisted my surgeon do an endoscopy (he didn't want to as felt the other test results were negative). I last got in touch via this forum after feeling like my wrap may have been disrupted (Nissen fundo in Oct 2010). I wanted to get in touch with you all again for some reassurance after an endoscopy I had yesterday.
