Abstract
Dysphasia is one of the most important disorders that need to be treated in today's aging society. Evaluation for patients with gastrostomy or to be with gastrostomy ; thus, there are increased opportunities for gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopists to perform this procedure. Of the two main examination methods of VE and videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (VF), VE is easier for GI endoscopists to carry out, and conventional VE in which a laryngoscope is used allows for efficient evaluation. Increasing the number of treating physicians, through the dispersion of this technique among GI endoscopists, will greatly enhance the treatment of dysphasia, leading to a greater benefit for patients. Hence, the immediate establishment of a care system including training for the procedure and sufficient patient support is necessary.
