[Interventional endoscopy with the argon plasma coagulator: experiences in general surgery].
The results of the application of argon plasma coagulation (APC) in surgical endoscopy on tumorous stenosis of the esophagus and trachea, angiodysplasia and gastrointestinal bleeding are presented here. Primary therapeutic goals were always achieved and complications were harmless except one loss after duodenal perforation. We conclude that APC is a useful and easily handled tool in the careful hands of an experienced endoscopist.
