Thoracic Surgery Clinic-
Esophagoscopy Rigid

Rigid esophagoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This procedure is typically performed to diagnose and treat conditions such as esophageal cancer, esophageal strictures (narrowing of the esophagus), or foreign objects lodged in the esophagus.

During a rigid esophagoscopy, the patient is usually sedated or given a general anesthetic to ensure they are unconscious and do not feel any discomfort. The esophagoscope, a rigid, straight tube with a light and camera at the end, is then inserted through the mouth and passed down the throat and into the esophagus. The healthcare provider can then visualize the inside of the esophagus on a monitor and perform any necessary procedures, such as taking tissue samples (biopsies) or removing foreign objects.

Rigid esophagoscopy is a relatively safe and effective procedure that can help diagnose and treat a variety of esophageal conditions. It is usually performed by healthcare providers who specialize in the treatment of esophageal conditions, such as gastroenterologists or thoracic surgeons. The healthcare providers at the Dubai Thoracic Surgery Clinic, located at the Dr. Rami Hamed Center, have extensive experience in performing rigid esophagoscopy and work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients undergoing this procedure.
