OBJECTIVES: Diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) have been documented in adults, with few data available on pediatric patients. We evaluated the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of DBE in children.
METHODS: A prospective assessment of 113 DBE procedures in 58 consecutive children younger than 18 years (36 boys, 22 girls; median age 12.7 years, range 1-18 years) was performed for a variety of suspected small bowel (SB) disorders from January 2008 to August 2012 in a tertiary referral center for pediatric patients. All of the children had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and ileocolonoscopy. A total of 19 patients had undergone radiological investigations for SB (n = 11 magnetic resonance imaging; n = 5 barium enterography; n = 3 computed tomography) and 54 patients had undergone wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE).
RESULTS: The overall median (range) examination time was 92.5 (45-275) minutes. The median (range) estimated insertion length of SB distal to pylorus was 230 (80-450) cm and proximal to ileocecal valve was 80 (5-275) cm. The common indications for DBE were polyposis syndromes (n = 21) and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (n = 16). The findings included polyps (n = 19), mucosal ulcers and erosions (n = 8), submucosal elevations with white nodules (n = 4), and angioma/angiodysplasia (n = 2). The overall diagnostic yield for SB lesions using DBE was 70.7% (41/58) and for WCE was 77.7% (42/54). Endotherapeutic intervention was successfully used in 46.5% (n = 27/58). The endoscopic, medical, and surgical contributions to change in management by DBE were 72.4% (n = 42/58). Three complications (5.2%) were noted with uneventful recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic yield of DBE was comparable to WCE, but with the addition of therapeutic possibility and histological yield. We believe this technique could be a valuable addition to existing endoscopic techniques, complementary to WCE, and may be considered as an alternative diagnostic and therapeutic option in the SB in children.
