Incidence, localization and clinical characteristics of diverticulosis of the digestive tract detected within the period 1971-1980 are analysed. Of 12.352 examined patients, diverticulosis was found in 425 (3,44%). The largest number was detected radiologically and some endoscopically. Diverticulosis was most commonly found in: colon 355, duodenum 42, eosophagus 20 and small intestine 16 (of them 11 with Meckel's) and most rarely in the stomach, 12 patients. Symtomatology was non-characteristic. The treatment was conservative, except in the case of complications. Complications occurred in 39 (9,2%) patients. Due to complications, Meckel's diverticuli were actively searched for and all cases were operated on.

Within a two-year period urgent endoscopy due to bleeding from the upper digestive tract was performed in 209 patients, that is, 4,6% of all endoscopies. The cause of bleeding was detected in 84% of the examined patients. The most common cause of bleeding was: gastroduodenal ulcer, erosive esophagogastroduodenitis, malignant gastric neoplasm, and, in a smaller percentage, peptic postresection ulcer and esophageal varices. Analysing causes of a relatively high percentage of nonidentified bleedings the authors insist on detection of small lesions as well as indirect signs of mucosal alterations as possible causes of bleeding.
