Magnified Observation of Elevated Lesions of the Stomach Based on Magnifying Fiberoptic Endoscopy and Dissecting Microscopy

Summary

On the basis of considerable experience, we have correlated findings under the dissecting microscopy (1, 3, 6, 7) with findings obtained with the magnifying fiberoptic endoscope (2, 5), and have established a system of classification (2, 4) to help the endoscopist determine the nature of elevated lesions of the stomach without a biopsy.
