  • Title: [Fiber gastroscopy in the diagnosis of gastroduodenal diseases and of primary cancer of the gastric stump in particular].
    Author: Dimitrova V, Petrov P, Grozeva K.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Sofiia); 1989; 42(1):14-8. PubMed ID: 2761172.
    Abstract:
    Data available in the literature are adduced and personal experience recorded with 5930 fiber gastroscopies, leading to the conclusion that fiber gastroscopy is a valuable method for diagnosis of diseases of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Some aspects of primary cancer of the gastric residue and its inevitable accompanying pathology--the gastroduodenal reflux--are discussed, analyzing 313 fiber gastroscopies of patients, who had undergone in the past gastric resection for benign diseases. The authors adduce motives for the need of periodic fiber gastroscopic control of operated patients, aimed at early prophylaxis of primary cancer of the gastric residue. The need of regular medical control on these patients is also emphasized.
