A member asked:
Can ent see small tear in the esophagus with flexible endoscope? can endocsope rotate 360 degree? i'd like only ent to respond.

Usually not.: If there is concern for a small tear in the esophagus, the usual doctor to address that is a gastroenterologist. Sometimes that is visible with a flexible endoscope. Sometimes it requires other types of radiologic studies in addition or instead of that. A tear in the esophagus can be an emergency. Do not delay getting it evaluated. Good luck.
