Emergency endoscopy in children.
Endoscopy in children has developed along with pediatric gastroenterology over the last four decades.

Training for pediatric endoscopists therefore needs to be thorough. This article in particular highlights developments in pediatric gastroenterology of importance to emergency procedures.
