    Pediatric colonoscopy, using improved instruments, is now a valuable tool for examining infants and children. This procedure significantly complements traditional diagnostic methods in pediatric care.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Advancements in endoscopic technology have expanded the applicability of colonoscopy to pediatric patients.
    • Historically, diagnostic options for pediatric gastrointestinal issues were limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the value and indications for pediatric colonoscopy.
    • To highlight the role of colonoscopy in the diagnostic workup of children.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of pediatric colonoscopies performed over a 10-year period.
    • Data collected on 83 procedures across 45 infants and children.

    Main Results:

    • Colonoscopy was successfully performed on a cohort of 45 pediatric patients.
    • A total of 83 procedures were conducted, demonstrating feasibility and application in this age group.
