Pediatric gastroenterology: Formation, development, prospects for studies

Abstract

The paper touches upon the urgent problems of modern pediatric gastroenterology. It considers the origins of pediatric gastroenterology as one of the relevant areas in pediatrics. The development of this area is favored by laboratory, morphological, and instrumental studies. Their use in children, including young ones, has improved the early diagnosis of diseases of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestine, pancreas, and hepatobiliary system. The treatment of childhood digestive diseases has improved substantially.
