Abstract
- Interventional digestive endoscopy in the pediatric population is major procedure in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm in children with different pathologies in the gastrointestinal spectrum and with a marked evolution in the current medical practice. This article attempts to describe all the situations where this technique is required electively or as a matter of urgency, providing a description of the method, the indications, as well as the complications that may arise. The interventional procedure is performed by a pediatric gastroenterologist or endoscopy technician, sometimes with the assistance of gastroenterologist for adults, under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation or under conscious sedation. A good prognosis in such cases depends on the patient’s status, the available equipment, the expertise of the pediatric gastroenterologist, as well as on working together in the interdisciplinary team.
