Abstract
In these clinical cases, duodenal intubation was performed with greater ease, shorter time and more frequent spontaneous opening of the pyloric sphincter after premedication with butorphanol in comparison to methadone. The use of butorphanol facilitated the passage of the endoscope and is therefore recommended for premedication prior to upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy.
