Title: [Endoscopic diagnosis of masked perforated peptic ulcer]. Author: Bebiia NV. Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1975 Dec; 115(12):25-8. PubMed ID: 1216395. Abstract: Fifty eight patients hospitalized with a suspicion to masked perforated ulcer of the stomach and duodenum were subjected to urgent fibrogastroduodenoscopy by means of modern endoscopes with fiber optics. In 8 cases the perforation was diagnosed during endoscopy and subsequently supported intraoperatively. In the remaining patients the diagnosis of perforated ulcer was rejected. An application of urgent endoscopy in patients suspected of masked perforated gastric or duodenal ulcer made it possible to avoid useless laparotomies and shorten the terms of preoperative examination and determination of indications to surgical therapy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
