This narrative review, written by pediatric endoscopists, synthesizes literature from 2016 to 2021 and expert opinion to describe advances in diagnostic pediatric endoscopy. Safety profiles are summarized, with reported adverse event rates for procedures like EUS-FNA being low (overall mortality 0.06%, complications <3%). Limitations include a paucity of pediatric data for some modalities, reliance on expert opinion, and that most tools are primarily validated in adult populations. The review aims to familiarize clinicians with emerging technologies to benefit pediatric patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
