The diagnostic and therapeutic programs that have been carried out include: pediatric gastroscopy, colonoscopy diagnostic techniques and pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy therapeutic techniques - foreign body clamping in the digestive tract, gastric torsion reset, local spraying for hemostasis under the direct vision of the gastroscope, and high-frequency electrocoagulation for removal of colonic polyps (in cooperation with the Department of Pediatric Surgery), and so on. More than 2,000 cases of gastroscopy have been performed, including the youngest age of newborns only 36 hours after birth; 13C-breathing test has also been performed.
