[Diagnostic value of bulboscopy].
Bulboscopy is a proved routine examination in radiological suspicion of changes in the duodenum, in duodenal ulcers, haemorrhages from the superior gastrointestinal tract, also as emergency endoscopy, and in unclear epigastric complaints. The endoscopy of the duodenal bulb is better than the radiological examination, especially when a cicatricial bulb is present. Flat ulcers often cannot be proved by radiological examination. Nevertheless the radiological examination should always be carried out, as also endoscopically in the cicatricial bulb ulcers may be overseen. Endoscopically the florid duodenal ulcer can be differentiated in several groups. Some a prognostic importance is ascribed.
