Abstract:
:We reviewed the records of 100 consecutive patients who had gastroscopy. All endoscopic work was done by our four-man surgical group. Roentgenographic and endoscopic diagnoses are compared with reference to degree of accuracy. The expanded uses of gastroscopy in surgical practice are illustrated and a plea is made for increased involvement of surgeons in the rapidly expanding field of endoscopy.
