    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fiberoptic endoscopy accurately diagnoses upper gastrointestinal lesions in over 90% of patients. This investigation is crucial for specific surgical cases, including diagnostic uncertainty, bleeding, and persistent symptoms, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Fiberoptic endoscopy offers high diagnostic accuracy for esophageal, stomach, and duodenal lesions.
    • Radiological examination can sometimes provide a satisfactory diagnosis, making endoscopy not universally necessary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify patient groups where fiberoptic endoscopy is particularly valuable for surgeons.
    • To establish criteria for mandatory endoscopy to ensure accurate diagnosis and guide rational treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic accuracy of fiberoptic endoscopy.
    • Identification of clinical scenarios where endoscopy provides critical diagnostic information beyond radiological examination.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopy achieves >90% diagnostic accuracy for upper gastrointestinal lesions.

  • Specific indications for mandatory endoscopy include diagnostic doubt after radiology (especially gastric ulcer malignancy), upper GI hemorrhage, post-gastrectomy symptoms, and persistent symptoms without radiological findings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fiberoptic endoscopy is indispensable for accurate diagnosis in specific, high-yield surgical patient groups.
    • Selective use of endoscopy based on clinical presentation ensures efficient and effective patient management.
