“…The most common indications are: Foreign body extraction, therapy-refractory reflux disease, and diagnostic of chronic inflammatory diseases [38,[41][42][43][44]. Esophageal dilations are the most common indication for endoscopic therapy in children and can lead to perforations, which require prompt diagnosis and management [6]. Symptoms, which prompt an endoscopy request, are often impaired growth or dysphagia.…”

“…The rate of complication increases in the interventional colonoscopy. A large retrospective study reports 10.9% of complications after polypectomy in pediatric patients [6,88]. In another common interventional procedure, such as the dilation of benign colonic strictures, data regarding pediatric population are still lacking.…”

Optimal management of pediatric endoscopy requires a multidisciplinary approach. In most hospitals, endoscopy in pediatric patients is performed by conventional gastroenterologists and only a few centers have specialized pediatric gastroenterologists. This is due to the fact that the number of pediatric gastroenterologists is limited and not all of them are experienced in endoscopic techniques. However, there are also some pediatric centers offering a high-quality and high-volume endoscopy service provided by very experienced pediatric gastroenterologists. Up to now, the literature on pediatric endoscopy is rather sparse. In this article, we describe current knowledge and practice of endoscopic procedures in pediatric patients, which should be relevant for both the adult and pediatric gastroenterologists.
