title: Modification of the Cockerill technique for the esophageal examination in children.
abstract: Optimal visualization of esophageal-mucosal detail in children has been made possible by using a saliva ejector to modify the Cockerill technique. Varices and esophagitis are better demonstrated than by routine fluoroscopic examination, and radiation exposure may be reduced.
