Upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) remains the most efficient examination, to explore the upper digestive tract, for both diagnostic and therapeutic [1]
This study aimed at describing the experience and evaluating the tolerance, acceptability and injuries observed during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
The tolerance of UDE remains variable among patients, and previous studies have shown that several factors may be associated with better acceptability of UDE [2] [3]
Summary
Upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) remains the most efficient examination, to explore the upper digestive tract, for both diagnostic and therapeutic [1]. The tolerance of UDE remains variable among patients, and previous studies have shown that several factors may be associated with better acceptability of UDE [2] [3]. In Togo, there is no precedent study describing the tolerance and acceptability of this examination in patients. Our study aims at describing the experience, tolerance and acceptability of UDE among our patients, and highlighting the pathologies observed. Endoscopy remains the most performant medical exam exploring the upper digestive tract; but depending on patients, its tolerance is variable. Objective: This study aimed at describing the experience and evaluating the tolerance, acceptability and injuries observed during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Injuries are dominated by inflammatory pathologies of the stomach in our population
