Pediatric interventional endoscopy, a minimally invasive surgery performed under anesthesia, is expanding beyond diagnostics. This safe and effective technique is increasingly common in pediatric endoscopy units for various procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Advancements in endoscopic equipment are driving the evolution of pediatric endoscopy.
  • Pediatric endoscopy is transitioning from purely diagnostic procedures to interventional techniques.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the expanding role and capabilities of interventional endoscopy in pediatric care.
  • To underscore the safety and efficacy of these procedures in specialized units.

Summary:

  • Pediatric interventional endoscopy, performed under general anesthesia, includes common procedures like foreign body extraction, esophageal stricture dilation, gastrostomy, and polypectomy.
  • Less frequent indications include sclerotherapy, upper GI bleeding hemostasis, and achalasia treatment.
  • Biliary and pancreatic interventions in children are rare and often involve collaboration with experienced adult endoscopists.
