Gastroenterology Procedure Unit

The Gastroenterology Procedure Unit (GPU) at Children?s Hospital Boston is a full-service unit providing an array of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures in a safe, comfortable environment.

Our expert team works closely with other departments and divisions in the hospital, accommodating both routine and urgent care in a timely fashion. Patients are generally referred to the GPU through Children?s Department of Gastroenterology.

The digestive disorders program was recently ranked #1 in the country by U.S.News & World Report.

Procedures

Offering more than the typical gastroenterology (GI) endoscopy center, our specialists provide world-renowned care to children with gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatobiliary disorders. In addition, we collaborate with Children?s respiratory disease specialists in the care of aerodigestive disorders.

Our team

Nineteen attending physicians, 12 nurses and six endoscopy technicians support the day-to-day practice of the unit. All nurses and physicians are certified in pediatric advanced life support (PALS).

Our team also assists in the care of children with life-threatening cases in other areas of the hospital, such as the intensive care and surgical units, using our portable equipment.
