With the aim of establishing the prevalence of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in the field of gastroenterology, a survey was conducted of the medical and surgical departments of university hospitals as well as of all other hospitals in the FRG. Of the 1,382 hospitals approached, 1,116 (80.7%) provided the information required. An analysis of the data revealed that in the medical departments of university hospitals, virtually all the diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures are practised, with the exception laser therapy, endoprosthesis implantation and local chemolitholysis. Also, the diagnostic endoscopic procedures have become firmly established in the surgical departments of the university hospitals and the general medical hospitals in the Federal Republic. In contrast, therapeutic endoscopy has not met with unqualified acceptance in the surgical departments of the university hospitals (in particular the pancreo-biliary system) and in the small to medium-sized medical-gastroenterological hospitals (less than 100 medical beds) (in particular endoprosthesis implantation, laser therapy and variceal sclerotherapy).
为了确定胃肠病学领域诊断性和治疗性内镜检查程序的普及情况，对联邦德国大学医院的内科和外科以及所有其他医院进行了一项调查。在联系的1382家医院中，1116家（80.7%）提供了所需信息。数据分析显示，在大学医院的内科，几乎开展了所有诊断性和治疗性内镜检查程序，但激光治疗、内置假体植入和局部化学溶石术除外。此外，诊断性内镜检查程序在联邦德国大学医院的外科和综合医院已牢固确立。相比之下，治疗性内镜检查在大学医院的外科（特别是胰腺-胆道系统）以及中小型胃肠病医院（床位少于100张）（特别是内置假体植入、激光治疗和静脉曲张硬化疗法）中并未得到完全认可。
