A member asked:

What kind of test can be done to find out if there was damage to the les after an endoscopy?

Dr. Bahman Omrani answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Rare : To have damage to the les with endoscopy. Local mechanical irritation is possible but resolves shortly. Rupture, etc. Is rare, and a ct scan may provide the answer. Esophageal manometry may be used; even then, hard to say if damage is from endoscopy or egd. A re-look with a scope may be the best alternative depending on the situation.

On endoscopy, I had a red patch near the LES. Is it possible that biopsy analysis didn't reveal Barrett's esophagus? If yes, what is this patch?
