Abstract
Pediatric endoscopy has been less than satisfactory and slow to develop because miniaturization of conventional endoscopes resulted in loss of light and viewing angle. The invention of the Hopkins rod lens system and the incorporation of fiber light illumination has permitted such miniaturization with vastly improved results. On the basis of this new system more satisfactory methods of making permanent records by photography are available. By this means clinicians' communications and patients records can be improved. Combining this with television, teaching and learning the art and methods of endoscopy are enhanced, while making the procedure shorter, more accurate and less demanding on a critically ill patient.
