Pediatric Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the digestive system of children, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth or rectum to visualize the inside of the gastrointestinal tract. This allows doctors to diagnose issues like inflammation, infections, or blockages and to perform treatments, such as biopsies. It is a minimally invasive method that helps pediatric gastroenterologists understand and manage various gastrointestinal conditions in young patients, ensuring they receive appropriate care for their health needs.
