[Emergency endoscopy].
The possibilities and advantages of the emergency endoscopy of the upper intestinal tract are emphasized. With the help of 475 own examinations from 1971 to 1973 and from 1973 to June 1977 the improvement of the diagnostic gain by instruments with prograde optics is proved. Ulcerous diseases of the stomach and the duodenum are found as most frequent cause of haemorrhage which appear in the oesophagus or in the oesophagogastric transition. With 20% the number of the multiple findings was significantly high, the proof of which is to be regarded as an essential advantage of the emergency endoscopy. But at the same time they also emphasize the necessity not to be satisfied with the proof of a source of haemorrhage. The coloscopic emergency endoscopy is more difficult. Endoscopico-therapeutic possiblities increase the importance of the emergency endoscopy.
