Abstract
Seventy two endoscopies of the upper gastrointestinal tract and one hundred and fifteen colonoscopies were performed in children aged nine months to seventeen years. The experience gained with different types of endoscopes suggests that endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract should be only performed with pediatric instruments. These are: GIF-P1 2 (max. outer diameter 9 mm) and TX-72 (max. outer diameter 10 mm). For colonoscopy, the ideal pediatric instrument is not yet available. Sigmoidocoloscopes like the CFMB1 (length 1115 mm) and the F-91-S2 (length 650 mm) are suitable for older children.Keywords
