Özet
Even though endoscopic procedures are considered as low-risk procedures that can usually be performed without hospitalization, they can be more complicated in pregnant patients. The physiological and anatomical changes in pregnancy and maternal and fetal risk factors create some disadvantages during endoscopic procedures of lower gastrointestinal tract (LGIT) in particular. Controlled trials are not possible due to medicolegal factors and patients’ refusal. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, the information obtained from the studies which usually include retrospective case series with small sample size has been stayed at suggestion level. The experience regarding the used medications only consists of animal experiments.
