Comparison of colonoscopic versus fluoroscopic colonic manometry catheter placement in children.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Colonic manometry catheter placement can be performed by colonoscopy or fluoroscopy. Our objective was to compare outcomes of colonoscopic to fluoroscopic catheter placement in children based on the extent of colon study and the likelihood of catheter displacement.

Methods

Colonic manometry studies performed between May 2015 and May 2022 were reviewed. All studies with catheter placement per rectum were included. Data on patient demographics, medical and surgical history, and information on catheter placement (type of catheter, placement technique, position, and displacement) were recorded.

Results

We reviewed 555 studies and included 482 studies performed on 453 children (51% female, median age 10 years, interquartile range: 7-14 years). The catheter was p
