[Enteroscopy in surgical diseases of the small intestine in children].
The possibilities of combined enteroscopy in children with suspected surgical diseases of different parts of the small intestine are evaluated. Examination of the jejunum 40-150 cm below the Treitz ligament by means of a standard pediatric fibroscope followed by retrograde ileoscopy allowed an exhaustive diagnosis to be established (including localization of the pathological process) in 18 of 19 children who were operated on. No hyperdiagnosis of surgical diseases occurred. Complications of enteroscopy were not registered.
