Abstract
Although the introduction of double-contrast radiographic techniques has reduced the comparative advantage of endoscopy over barium studies (Levine et al. 1987), most papers suggest that upper gastroin-testinal endoscopy is more accurate (Keto et al. 1979), particularly regarding the evaluation of inflammatory mucosal abnormalities, bleeding lesions (Thoeni and CELLO 1980) and the postoperative stomach (Omin-Sky and Moss 1979).
