Transcutaneous electrical stimulation for constipation

Yee Ian Yik is a Pediatric Surgeon in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has just completed his PhD in the Surgical Research Group, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI), Melbourne and Department of Pediatrics, University of Melbourne, Australia, characterizing colonic motility wıth radionuclear transit studies and studyıng the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation on children with intractable constipation.
