[Upper digestive fiberscopy in paediatrics in hiatal hernia and gastrointestinal haemorrhage]

On the basis of their experience of upper digestive fiberscopy in paediatrics in hiatal hernia and gastrointestinal haemorrhage, the authors wish to point out the value of this technique as a complement to radiological investigations. They indicate the possibility, in a specialised centre of the everyday use of currently available fiberscopic equipment, from the neonatal period onwards, and emphasize the definite contribution of endoscopic findings in the definition of indications for surgery in the pathological states which they have chosen to illustrate here.
