[Interventional digestive endoscopy in pediatrics].
Interventional endoscopy concerns the therapeutic acts carried out by endoscopic way at the level of the digestive tract. It is realized under general anaesthesia and it has profited from recent progress of the material (endoscopes and accessories). Some acts are realized in a current way in paediatrics: extraction of foreign body, dilation of oesophageal stenosis, gastrostomy. Other indications are rarer. In these cases, interventional endoscopy is usually done with the collaboration of the adult endoscopists, whose field of activity in interventional endoscopy is far much broader.
