    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Ileostomy dysfunction presents a clinical challenge.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of pediatric flexible fiberoptic endoscopy for diagnosing ileostomy dysfunction.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic visualization and biopsy in the small bowel.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a pediatric-size flexible fiberoptic endoscope.
    • Performed direct visual inspection of the stoma and proximal small bowel.
    • Obtained photographic documentation and biopsies.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully identified various causes of ileostomy dysfunction.
    • Visualized the stoma area and up to 40-50 cm into the small bowel.
    • Facilitated biopsies for histological examination.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric flexible fiberoptic endoscopy is an effective tool for diagnosing ileostomy dysfunction.
    • The procedure allows for comprehensive assessment and tissue sampling.
