Abstract
As a result of recent developments in instrumentation, most endoscopic procedures can now be carried out safely in infants and children in less time and with less trauma than previously. In pediatric applications, laparoscopy is possible for the first time, bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy are greatly improved, and urethrocystoscopy can be done with accuracy and dispatch. Small flexible endoscopes have been evaluated for gastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy.
