A member asked:

If you have a small tear in the esophagus, can ent see it with flexible endoscope? how accurate? how does endoscopy work? can it rotate 360 degree?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Esophagous: It is not unheard of for ENT to perform esophagoscopy but evaluating your Esophagous is not done routinely in the office. But small tears are definitely visible.
