| description | Background: A wide spectrum of lesions can be encountered
in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) especially the stomach
or the gastric cavity. Endoscopy forms a crucial diagnostic
procedure; it gives good diagnostic results in non-neoplastic
lesions, endoscopy with biopsy is usually done in neoplastic
lesions where the differentiation of benign and malignant
lesions cannot be made always.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cum
prospective study and the duration of this study was 4 yearsfrom January 2015 to December 2019 and the total number
of endoscopic procedures performed was 3978. All patients
with symptoms pertaining to the upper GIT where Upper
Gastro-Intestinal Endoscopy (UGI Endoscopy) is useful in
diagnosis were included in this study. All age groups and both
the sexes were included. Biopsy was taken wherever there was
an indication.
Results: In this study, a total of 3978 endoscopies were done,
out of which 2689 patients were males (67.6%) and 1289 were
females (32.4%), youngest patient age in this study was 13 years
and the oldest was 79 years. Most of the lesions were located
in the gastric cavity (48% - 1909 cases), followed by esophagus
(34%-1353 cases) and least among the three in the duodenum
(18%- 716 cases). Out of the 3978 lesions, 134 cases were
diagnosed as carcinoma on endoscopy and they were
confirmed by histopathological examination.
Conclusion: Endoscopy plays a very important role in the
diagnosis of upper GIT lesions and it is incomplete without
histopathological examination of biopsied tissue in cases of
neoplastic lesions |
