[Endoscopic diagnosis of acute erosions and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum]

Under analysis was an experience with using fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy in 114 patients with acute erosions and ulcers of digestive organs, including 33 patients in dynamics from 2 to 4 times. In 13 patients erosions and ulcers were not complicated, 95 patients had bleeding ulcers, 6 patients had perforated ulcers. The authors have shown the diagnostic informative value to be as high as 96.5%. It was stressed that fibroendoscopy allowed to determine the character and localization of the process, complications (bleedings in particular), to follow the development of the process in dynamics, to control the efficacy of the curative and prophylactic measures.
