Background: EGD, with small-diameter endoscopes, is routinely performed via a nasal route in adults.Objective: To evaluate a new ultrathin one-plane bending videoendoscope for transnasal EGD.Design: Single center, prospective, randomized study.Setting: Edouard Herriot University Hospital.Patients: A total of 122 outpatients (median age, 49 years [18-81 years], 62 men and 60 women) were randomized into 2 groups (on a 2:1 basis) according to the endoscope used: (1) a standard 5.9-mm-diameter videoendoscope (80 patients) or (2) a one-plane bending high resolution 4.9-mm-diameter videoendoscope (42 patients).Main Outcome Measurements: The operator assessed the quality of examination by using standard scores or a 100-mm visual scale. Patients quantified tolerance by using a 100-mm visual scale.Results: The duration of the procedure was the same in each group. The feasibility of transnasal insertion was significantly higher when using the 4.9-mm-diameter endoscope (97.61% [41/42 patients] vs 88.75% [71/80 patients], P
