title: [Endoscopy of the esophagus, stomach and duodenal bulb].
abstract: The authors report on the position of the endoscopy of oesophagus, stomach and duodenal bulb within the diagnostic endoscopy. The therapeutic endoscopy including polypectomy remains widely not taken into consideration. They particularly deal with the endoscopic-bioptic diagnosis of the stenoses of the oesophagus, the gastric ulcers and the early carcinoma of the stomach. It is referred to the importance of the endoscopy for the diagnostics of varicose veins of the oesophagus and of duodenal ulcers. For the clinician references to the clinical elaboration of the endoscopic and bioptic findings are given.
