X-ray Report Showed Hernia Where Endoscopy Could Not Find. Any Idea?

Hello,
Yes, both investigations can sometimes miss the hernia, particular early small hernias.This generally happens if the herniated part is in normal position during investigation.If it's documented in one investigation, you should go by it.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards.
