Abstract
The rates of women entering the field of gastroenterology have been increasing over the past several years. Most of these women enter the field during childbearing years. At the same time, the procedural demands placed on endoscopists have been increasing as well. With these changes in demographics to the physicians performing endoscopy, more attention should be paid to the physical demands of scoping while pregnant. In this paper, we focus on several common, overlapping injuries that are frequently encountered during pregnancy and while performing endoscopy. Additionally, ergonomic modifications and strategies are outlined for both the pregnant and postpartum endoscopist. Given the lack of data in this area, dedicated studies aimed at this specific population would help guide further recommendations.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
