[Elevaled lesions of the stomach].

Between June 1959 and June 1975 at the Central Hospital No. 2 of the Social Security of Peru, 186 patients were found with elevated stomach lesions. From these the authors selected 92 with 94 lesions studied histologically that corresponded to polyps, 11 pseudo-polyps, 3 polyposis, 1 pseudopolyposis, 10 submucous tumors, and 8 malignant lesions. The rest corresponded to gastritis, atypias or normal mucosa.

[Radiologic correlation and endoscopy of the lesions of the colon].

Fiber colonoscopy permitted us to elucidate radiological suspicions of lesions of the colon established after repeated studies. It served to complement the radiological findings and to detect previously undiagnosed lesions and even to avoid possibly unnecessary surgical explorations when it negated the radiological diagnosis of malignant lesion. In this series, in which there were insufficient studies, no complications were registered.

[Emergency endoscopy in upper digestive hemorrhage].

In our hospital the incidence of upper digestive hemorhage [UDH] is greater after the 4th decade of age and predominantes in the male sex. The patients' clinical data was important in the diagnosis of the lesion. In 63% of our cases a close relation was found between the previous intake of substances considered ulcerogenous and the hemorrhagic episode, as well as the presence of stress situations. In our experiences the causes of UDH in order of their frequency are: 1. Acute lesions of the gastric mucosa. 2. Duodenal ulcer. 3. Gastric ulcer. 4. Stomal ulcer. 5. Bleeding esophagitis. 6. Others. The digestive hemorrhages of undetermined caused corresponded to 2,33% of the cases. The early diagnosis of UDH by means of emergency endoscope was of great value in the therapeutic handling of patients.
