[Pathology caused by suture materials in patients with gastric resection. Endoscopic findings].

The authors report the results obtained from an endoscopic study on 131 gastric resected patients, who in 18.3% showed a pathology due to suture thread. The Authors dwell upon the clinical picture shown by these patients, and also consider the cases performed on urgency for hematemesis and/or melaena, and upon the diagnostical role of endoscopy.
