It's safe a colonoscopy on a 4 year old kid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If necessary.: If this procedure is deemed necessary, and is performed by an experienced Pediatric Gastroenterologist with the appropriate (sterilized) equipment, along with an Anesthesiologist experienced in working with children this young, we would presume this procedure to be safe.
