[Complaints after gastroscopy and their cause (author's transl)]. 1979

S Massarrat, and R Winter

The various complaints after gastroscopy and the acceptability of the procedures are verified by a questionnaire in 300 consecutively examined patients with or without gastric lesions. The extent of psychic lability, neurosis and extraversion was determined by the Maudsley Personality Inventory test of Eysenck. The time necessary for the passage of the instrument (swallowing time) and the time taken by gastroscopy were registered on each patient. More than half of the patients complained of sore throat lasting more than 1 day. Less than a quarter had abdominal dyspepsia. The intensity of the sore throat was correlated with the swallowing time but not with the extent of neurosis or gastroscopy time. 98% of the patients consented to a control examination. The necessity of a gastroscope with less diameter and a non mucosal damaging top is stressed.
