| Popis: | THE flexible gastroscope has opened a new field in gastric diagnoses. In most cases it is safely and easily introduced and allows excellent visualization of the gastric mucosa in the living person. We have had three gastric perforations, all occurring during the use of instruments equipped with the spherical sponge tip devised by Henning. Experimental evidence indicates that the friction of this tip was responsible for these non-fatal accidents (9). No accidents have occurred when the long-finger guide was used. Lesions obstructing the esophagus and cardiac end of the stomach, aortic aneurysm, and suspected esophageal varices are contraindications to gastroscopy. Although most gastroscopists check their findings with roentgen findings, few radiologists check with the gastroscopist. Schatzki (8), Ansprenger (1), and Jutras (6) have made such comparisons. From 1926 to 1934 Sielman and Schindler made roentgenographic relief studies of the stomach in more than 4,000 cases. Of these cases, several hundred were... |
