title: [Endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of gastroduodenal hemorrhage].
abstract: An experience of work of the department of general surgery with the course of endoscopy is presented. The endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of 2931 patients for 6 years were performed for bleedings from the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Errors in endoscopic diagnosis made 5%. The authors divided them into three groups: methodical (preparing the patients, methods of examination), diagnostic (assessment of the substrate and type of bleeding, probability of recurrences), tactical (medical policy, dynamics of observations). Hemostasis in endoscopic arrest may be complete or temporary (stable or unstable). The most effective methods are thought to be coagulation, clipping and a combination of the methods. Medicamentous means are less effective. The authors recommend to be aware of the endoscopic possibilities and not to try to stop bleeding by any means thereby wasting time.
