Abstract

The emergence of pediatric gastroenterology as a subspecialty and improved design and widespread distribution of small diameter endoscopes have combined to foster dramatic expansion in the practice of pediatric endoscopy over the past three decades. Endoscopic evaluation and treatment of gastrointestinal disease in children has led to new diagnoses and provided exciting opportunities for nonsurgical treatment. This article will focus on important pediatric applications, highlight differences with adult practice, and anticipate future research and development of pediatric endoscopy.

摘要

在过去三十年中，儿科胃肠病学作为一门亚专业的兴起，以及小直径内窥镜设计的改进和广泛应用，共同推动了儿科内窥镜检查实践的显著扩展。儿童胃肠道疾病的内窥镜评估和治疗带来了新的诊断方法，并为非手术治疗提供了令人兴奋的机会。本文将重点介绍儿科内窥镜检查的重要应用，突出与成人实践的差异，并展望儿科内窥镜检查的未来研究与发展。
