Hospital.

 

Bleeding from oesophageal is one of the most serious and

often life threatening forms of upper gastrointestinal

haemorrhage. One third of the patients with cirrhosis do

not survive the first haemorrhage and Olsson did not find

any survivors among the patients with child C liver

disease six months after the first haemorrhage.

Management of variceal haemorrhage has been a most

frustrating and persistant challenge to physicians and

surgeons. Recently endoscopic sclerotherapy is becoming

popular for both acute bleeding episodes and achieving

long term obliteration of oesphageal varices. Most

reports of long term sclerotherapy come from institutions

where alcohol or schistosomiasis are the major causes of

cirrhosis. Experience of sclerotherapy in Oman where

hepatitis B is the major cause of cirrhosis is presented.

The introduction of flexible fibre-optic and video

endocopes at the turn of 20th century has opened the

gates to the advancing science of gastroenterology. Today

the gastroenterologist can offer his patient several

forms of non-invasive treatment, thereby avoiding

surgical intervention in many instances. As technology

continues to progress, one is aware of the tremendous

potential that this field has to offer to the

gastroenterologist of the future.
