Feasibility and Early Experience with Pediatric Open Access Endoscopy: A Pilot Study
Our early experience suggests that pediatric OAE is feasible and appeared safe within this small pilot cohort, with no adverse events observed. Advantages of pediatric OAE include minimizing missed school days and reducing medical anxiety. Feedback has led to refinements in practice at our institution, and further study on OAE is warranted at the endoscopy society level. Larger studies are needed to determine safety, effectiveness, and generalizability.
