Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Children undergoing evaluation for gastrointestinal symptoms (such as abdominal pain, bleeding, vomiting, chronic diarrhea, suspected foreign body ingestion, or growth failure) will undergo diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy (upper or lower as clinically indicated). The procedure will be performed under appropriate sedation/anesthesia using a standard pediatric endoscope. During endoscopy, visualization of the mucosa will be carried out, and biopsies may be taken if needed for histopathological examination.
