Pediatric Gastroenterology is like Pediatric Oncology a very time consuming subspecialty. Due to the complexity of the cases, the amount of medical procedures (pH-metry, endoscopy, hydrogen breath testing, rectoscopy, manometry) needed and the retribution system of the german public health insurance we can only treat our own patients in a reduced frame.
