Ileal intubation with a transnasal endoscope

This case report describes the successful use of a small-caliber transnasal endoscope to achieve ileal intubation during a full colonic study. The procedure was necessitated by the failure of a standard gastroscope, demonstrating that the smaller instrument commonly used for transanal endoscopy can effectively reach the terminal ileum. The authors highlight the feasibility and less fastidious nature of this approach compared to traditional peroral endoscopy techniques. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
