  2. Gastrointestinal perforation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_perforation

    Occasionally the hole can be sewn closed while other times a bowel resection is required. [2] Even with maximum treatment the risk of death can be as high as 50%. [2] A hole from a stomach ulcer occurs in about 1 per 10,000 people per year, while one from diverticulitis occurs in about 0.4 per 10,000 people per year. [1] [4]

  3. Esophageal rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_rupture

    Endoscopy has no role in the diagnosis of spontaneous esophageal perforation. Both the endoscope and insufflation of air can extend the perforation and introduce air into the mediastinum. [citation needed] Patients may also have a pleural effusion high in amylase (from saliva), low pH, and may contain particles of food. [citation needed]

    The Roth net can be inserted through the endoscope to remove pieces of the obstructed food. The standard treatment of food bolus obstruction is the use of endoscopy or fibre-optic cameras inserted by mouth into the esophagus. [6] Endoscopes can be used to diagnose the cause of the food bolus obstruction, as well as to remove the obstruction.

  5. Acute esophageal necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_esophageal_necrosis

    The symptoms vary from the severity of the disorder. The most classic sign of AEN is the dark pigmentation of esophageal mucosa in an upper endoscopy, usually viewed as an ulcer or as an infectious disease. [6] Necrosis can be found mostly between the three distals of the esophagus, but stops abruptly at the gastroesophageal junction. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_bleeding

    Early endoscopy decreases hospital and the amount of blood transfusions needed. [4] A second endoscopy within a day is routinely recommended by some [16] but by others only in specific situations. [22] Proton pump inhibitors, if they have not been started earlier, are recommended in those in whom high risk signs for bleeding are found. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopy

    An endoscopy is a simple procedure that allows a doctor to look inside human bodies using an instrument called an endoscope.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

    In its most basic use, the endoscope is used to inspect the internal anatomy of the digestive tract. Often inspection alone is sufficient, but biopsy is a valuable adjunct to endoscopy. Small biopsies can be made with a pincer (biopsy forceps) which is passed through the scope and allows sampling of 1 to 3 mm pieces of tissue under direct ...
