Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in Saudi Arabia: analysis of 6386 procedures

M A Laajam et al. Q J Med. 1988 Jan.

Abstract

Fibreoptic endoscopy is now established in the investigation of upper gastrointestinal disease. We report our findings in a large series of endoscopic procedures (6386) mostly in Middle Eastern Arabs, and compare the results obtained in Western patients. We find fibreoptic endoscopy to be feasible, safe, acceptable and effective.
