ПЕРВЫЙ ОПЫТ ПРОВЕДЕНИЯ ПОЛНОСПЕКТРАЛЬНОЙ (ПАНОРАМНОЙ) КОЛОНОСКОПИИ У ДЕТЕЙ

The aim was to assess the potential of the usage and efficacy of full-spectrum colonoscopy in children. Materials and methods: 22 children (1-17 years) were assessed with a full-spectrum colonoscope (FUSE system). Colorectal polyps were detected and removed in five of them. A new FUSE colonoscope has three cameras and allows a panoramic to 330 ° field of view. Results. With this full-spectrum colonoscope, endoscopists are able to view difficult- or impossible- to- view areas within the colon (“blind spots”), that allows to improve diagnostics of colorectal lesions. FUSE system helps in navigation within the colon. FUSE colonoscopy appears to be safe and efficient diagnostic and therapeutic method in children.
