Abstract |
Endoscopic sclerosing of oesophageal varices is only a palliative measure, which should be performed when the bleeding came to a standstill. The aim of treatment is to sclerose all visible varices in the oesophagus. This can be done with intervals in 4 to 5 weeks. Anaesthesia is not necessary. We observed perforations in 1%, stenosis of the oesophagus in 10% (n = 414 cases), treated in the last 4 years. The results obtained until now confirm our impression that, at present, injection sclerotherapy is the method of choice.
