Summary
The technical and clinical results are described in 23 colonoscopies performed with adult colonoscopes in children up to 15 years, twelve being under 11 years.
General anaesthesia is necessary in those under 10 years of age and since polyps in this age-group are always benign colonoscopy is rarely indicated.
