PURPOSE: To propose a way to safely perform endoscopic nasopharyngoscopy in ENT
outpatient clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This manuscript
highlights the importance of endoscopy in daily ENT clinical practice, which is a
pivotal procedure in the diagnosis of many head and neck pathologies. However,
since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the authors have witnessed a
drastic reduction (91%) in the use of endoscopic nasopharyngoscopy at their
institutions. In fact, it is considered at risk of contamination for healthcare
professionals, as any upper airway manipulation procedure. RESULTS: In the "Back
approach to the patient" for endoscopic nasopharyngoscopy, the operator positions
himself behind the patient and faces the monitor. The endoscopist, not being
positioned in front of the patient, should, therefore, be less exposed to
airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus. CONCLUSION: This simple variation of
the physician's position during endoscopic nasopharyngoscopy could potentially
reduce the risk of contagion since the operator is not in the trajectory of
droplets and/or aerosols.
