[Gastrointestinal fiberoptic endoscopy in geriatric patients--experience, results and indications (author's transl)]. 1979

G Friedrichs, and C Gärtner, and S Wagner, and H E Mühlich

From the viewpoint of a district hospital in which fiberoptic endoscopy of the upper digestive tract has been carried out since 1970, experiences and results to more than 1900 endoscopic examinations of the upper gastro-intestinal tract are communicated with forty per cent of the examined patients being older than 40 years. According to our experiences we see, when observing the indications and contra-indications, no age limit for such a method of examination. This endoscopic examination presents in our view a valuable enrichment of the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of medical care of elderly citizens.
