En la casu¨ªstica predominaron el sexo femenino (63,3 %) y el grupo etario de 46-61 a os, con una edad promedio de 55,8 a os; adem¨¢s, 30,6 % de las pruebas resultaron normales. El dolor epig¨¢strico (48,6 %), la dispepsia (43,5 %) y el reflujo gastroesof¨¢gico (8,6 %) fueron las principales causas de remisi¨®n, en tanto la gastritis (32,4 %) constituy¨® el diagn¨®stico endosc¨®pico m¨¢s frecuente, espec¨ªficamente sus variedades eritematosa y eritemato-erosiva, con 66,0 y 13,0 %, respectivamente. Del total, 10 pacientes presentaron c¨¢ncer g¨¢strico y 9, c¨¢ncer esof¨¢gico. Se pudo concluir que el procedimiento permiti¨® el diagn¨®stico preciso de las enfermedades del tracto digestivo superior, as¨ª como una atenci¨®n terap¨¦utica adecuada. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in 1 742 patients over 15 years, in whom the video endoscopy of upper gastrointestinal tract was successfully performed at the Diagnostic Medical Center of High Technology "Las Hero¨ªnas de M¨¦rida" of M¨¦rida state (Venezuela), from 2008 to 2011, with the purpose of describing the findings through this procedure. Female sex (63.3%) and age group of 46-61 years with a mean age of 55.8 years predominated in the case material, and 30.6% of the tests were normal. Epigastric pain (48.6%), dyspepsia (43.5%) and gastroesophageal reflux (8.6%) were the main reasons for referrals, while gastritis (32.4%) constituted the most frequent endoscopic diagnosis, specifically its erythematous and erythematous-erosive varieties, with 66.0 and 13.0%, respectively.
