Abstrakt:	Introduction Wire-guided bougienage of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) was performed routinely before per-oral motorized power spiral enteroscopy (MSE). In the present study, we aimed to answer the clinical question of whether routine bougienage of UES is required. Methods This was a retrospective study that included 20 patients who underwent antegrade spiral enteroscopy for various indications. The feasibility and safety of anterograde MSE without prior bougie dilatation of the upper esophageal sphincter were assessed. The technical success rate (TSR), diagnostic yield, and adverse events (AEs) were also assessed. Results In 16 out of the 20 patients, a spiral enteroscope was taken directly across UES into the esophagus without a prior bougie dilatation. The spiral enteroscope could not be negotiated across UES only in one patient, and bougie dilatation was done. The technical success rate was 100%. The diagnostic yield was 80%. Four patients reported AEs. Conclusions MSE had a good technical success rate and diagnostic yield. Routine dilatation of the UES before the procedure may be unnecessary.
