DOUBLE‐BALLOON ENTEROSCOPY IN THE EVALUATION OF SMALL BOWEL DISORDERS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

Background:  The aim of the present study was to investigate the indications, clinical utility, feasibility and safety of double‐balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in the diagnosis and management of small intestinal diseases in pediatric patients.
