About Colorectal Program

Many of the children we serve have trouble controlling their bowels because of a condition affecting their pelvic area, which is typically caused by a digestive system malformation or disease, a spinal problem or constipation.

Common conditions include:

  • Anorectal malformations; imperforate anus
  • Cloacal exstrophy (EC)
  • Fecal incontinence
  • Hirschprung disease
  • Idiopathic constipation/encopresis
  • Neurogenic bowel
  • Neural tube defects

Our team works together to create an individualized treatment plan based on your child’s condition, history, diagnostics and physical exam to achieve their best quality of life now and in the future. Our comprehensive approach includes collaborating with specialists in gastroenterology, urology and gynecology as needed.
