| Abstrakt: |
Wireless capsule endoscopy represents an extraordinary technical innovation in diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy. As in adult patients, it opens new horizons that permit an accurate and noninvasive approach to identify occult lesions in the small bowel in children and adolescents. A limitation in children is the size of the capsule, precluding its use in infants and very young children. In school-age children unable to swallow the capsule, »front loading« the gastroscope to introduce it into the duodenum is a suitable alternative approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
