Pediatric Endoscopy

Pediatric endoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine and diagnose issues in the digestive system of children, from infants to teenagers. This minimally invasive technique involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera, called an endoscope, into the body through natural openings, like the mouth or rectum. The camera allows doctors to visualize the organs, such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, and perform small procedures if needed. It helps identify conditions like gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammation, or infections, ensuring children receive accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment.
