The techniques for placement of feeding tubes using fiberscopes are described and an evaluation of the results obtained in the last 12 months is made. The techniques are discussed and compared with other methods of enteral feeding known at present. It is concluded that placement of feeding tubes by endoscopy can be achieved easily, that it is possible to choose the site of enteric liberation of nutrients under conditions which previously represented contraindications, and that this procedure is free of complications even during long periods of time.
