This is from actual report:
The Endoscope 2510190 was introduced through the mouth, and under direct visualization advanced to the duodenal bulb. A careful inspection was made as the endoscope was withdrawn. The upper GI endoscopy was performed with difficulty due to stenosis. The paient tolerated the procedure fairly well.
Findings:
Thickened and fibrotic-appearing epiglottis. Unable to pass the GIF-160 endoscope. A guide wire was placed under fluoroscopic guidance, then the scope was withdrawn. Using the wire as a guide, dilation with a 10-11-12 mm balloon (to a maximum balloon size of 12 mm) dilator was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. The GIF-160 endoscope still could not be passed into the esophagus, but the XP-160 scope passed with mild resistance. A Savory guide wire was placed under the endoscopic guidance and the scope was withdrawn. A 39 FR Savary dilator was passed over the guide wire with moderate resistance. This was successfully dilated. No gross lesions were noted in the entire esophagus. The entire examined stomach was normal. The duodenal bulb was normal.
