Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing (FEESST), is essentially a Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) procedure with a formal sensory test (also known as laryngopharyngeal sensory testing) protocol included used to elicit the Laryngeal Adductor Reflex (LAR) directly using air pulses or direct touch with an endoscope.
Endoscopic foreign body retrieval is the first-line treatment for removal of a foreign body from the alimentary tract. [10] Glucagon has been used to treat esophageal foreign bodies, with the intent that it relaxes the smooth muscle of the lower esophageal spincter to allow the foreign body to pass into the stomach.

Capsule endoscopy can still not yet replace standard endoscopy for various diseases, as is the case for those with cirrhosis. [ 14 ] As of 2014, research was targeting additional sensing mechanisms and localization and motion control systems to enable new applications for the technology, for example, drug delivery.
Barium swallow studies are better than endoscopy at demonstrating the anatomic findings in gastroesophageal reflux disease after anti-reflux surgery. [ 30 ] Barium fluoroscopic examinations have some advantages over computed tomography and magnetic resonance techniques, such as higher spatial resolution and the ability to examine bowel ...
Endoscopic foreign body retrieval refers to the removal of ingested objects from the esophagus, stomach and duodenum by endoscopic techniques. It does not involve surgery, but rather encompasses a variety of techniques employed through the gastroscope for grasping foreign bodies, manipulating them, and removing them while protecting the esophagus and trachea.

Barium swallow in nutcracker esophagus is also typically normal, [2] but may provide a definitive diagnosis if contrast is given in tablet or granule form. Studies on endoscopic ultrasound show slight trends toward thickening of the muscularis propria of the esophagus in nutcracker esophagus, but this is not useful in making the diagnosis. [11]
