Commercially available double-channel endoscopes are designed mainly for adults. We present our experience of using a home-made pediatric double-channel endoscope. A feeding tube was attached to the side of a single-channel endoscope by adhesive tape. The attached tube was used as an additional working channel. Fifty-nine procedures, including esophageal variceal injection sclerotherapy, gastrointestinal bleeding, polypectomy, and foreign body removal, were successfully performed using this home-made double-channel endoscope. No complications were observed. This home-made double-channel endoscope is safe, efficient, and inexpensive for use in pediatric procedures.
