Capsule Endoscopy in Pediatric Patients from Theory to Practice is a practical and authoritative guide that empowers pediatric gastroenterologists, physicians, and trainees to navigate the complexities of Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) in children. With a focus on bridging knowledge gaps and providing practical insights, this book offers updated information on understanding and utilizing VCE in the pediatric population. The book covers the background and technical aspects of VCE, including guidance on setting up a pediatric VCE service and an overview of indications and limitations. It delves into practical aspects such as preprocedural preparation, artifact reduction techniques, and management of capsule retention. By exploring VCE in various disease conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, hereditary polyposis syndromes, and chronic abdominal pain, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of diagnosis, surveillance, and management. Special content elements, including key terms, case studies, and a timeline of recent advances, enhance the learning experience. This essential resource empowers readers to optimize patient care, make informed decisions, and confidently navigate the realm of VCE in children.

Dr. Attard possesses a strong background in clinical research and clinical practice within the field of pediatric gastroenterology focusing on endoscopy and advanced endoscopic techniques. The main area of his research revolves around hereditary polyposis and cancer-predisposing syndromes in children. He has gained recognition as an authority in the management of small intestinal polyposis through the utilization of video capsule endoscopy. Dr. Attard is well-versed in the logistical aspects involved in establishing and maintaining a capsule endoscopy service. He was an early adopter and has remained up-to-date with the latest advancements. Among the few pediatric gastroenterologists proficient in enteroscopy, Dr. Attard has not only mentored others but has also coauthored multiple publications on video capsule endoscopy. Additionally, his expertise has led to his involvement as a reviewer for prestigious journals in the field of pediatric gastroenterology and high-impact factor gastroenterology and pediatric journals.
