During a nasal endoscopy procedure, the ear, nose and throat physician inserts the instrument into your nose and guides it through your sinus and nasal passages as they view the images of the area they’re examining. The procedure helps with diagnosing and treating different health conditions.

After spraying your nasal passages to anesthetize the lining and shrink tissue, a thin tube or endoscope is inserted into the nasal passage to visualize the internal anatomy of the nose, sinuses and / or throat. Insurance companies always consider endoscopies a surgical procedure.

All endoscopic procedures involve some degree of sedation, which relaxes you and subdues your gag reflex. Being sedated during the procedure will put you into a moderate to deep sleep, so you will not feel any discomfort when the endoscope is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach.
