    Colonoscopy effectively diagnoses and removes colorectal polyps in children with rectal bleeding. This safe and efficient endoscopic procedure is recommended as a first-line treatment for pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Chronic and intermittent rectal bleeding in children can be caused by colorectal polyps.
    • Barium enema examinations may not detect all colorectal polyps.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of colonoscopy for diagnosing and treating colorectal polyps in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Fibreoptic colonoscopy under sedation was performed on five children with rectal bleeding.
    • Eight polyps were identified, with six located proximal to the sigmoid colon.
    • Endoscopic removal of all polyps was achieved using various techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Colonoscopy successfully diagnosed colorectal polyps in all five children.

  • Endoscopic polypectomy was performed without complications.
  • Six of the eight polyps were located in the proximal colon, highlighting the importance of colonoscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Colonoscopic polypectomy is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric colorectal polyps.
    • Colonoscopy should be considered the primary diagnostic and therapeutic approach for children experiencing rectal bleeding.
