title: [The views and attitudes of the Clinic of Emergency Surgery of the Clinical Emergency Medical Center at the Queen Ioanna State University Hospital on the potentials of surgical endoscopy in upper digestive hemorrhages].
abstract: Transendoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varix in children and adults is introduced in the clinic of emergency surgery ever since 1973. In children aged 3 to 14 years presenting preportal block a 100 per cent survivorship is recorded 20 years after the manipulation. The outcome of endoscopy in adult patients is successful in 57.69 per cent. Perilesional sclerosing is introduced in the CES in 1982, with a complete and definitive hemostasis attained in 46.7 per cent of the cases. In 1983, transendoscopic electrocoagulation is practically implemented in the CES, with the rate of successfully cured amounting to 55.49 per cent. Having in mind the limitations and contraindications of therapeutic transendoscopic hemostasis in massive hemorrhages, particularly those of ulcerative origin, preference is given to the safer hemostasis by surgical means.
