CME Credit Hours: 1.25
As surgical and medical care for children have improved, they are living longer and healthier lives. The approach to transition of colorectal patients from the pediatric to adult systems needs a collaborative and educated approach to reduce recidivism and ensure smooth transition. The needs of congenital colorectal patients require knowledge of the embryology, repair and long-term consequences.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Explain anorectal malformation: anatomy and repair as well as long term considerations
- Review Hirschsprung’s Disease: anatomy and repair as well as long term considerations
- Review neurogenic bowel, associated diagnoses, treatment and long-term considerations of treatment with antegrade continent enterostomy, cecostomy/chait
- Discuss barriers to transition, both from pediatric as well as adult viewpoints, and how to overcome
