SURGICAL ASPECT OF CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN

Abstract: Surgical Aspect of Constipation in Children Constipation is one of the most common complaints of children seen in both pediatrics and pediatric surgery outpatient clinics. Besides the surgical pathologies which may present with constipation, many of the children suffering this problem due to different etiologies are referred to pediatric surgeons at least once in their follow-up. The pediatric surgeons deal with not only the differential diagnosis but also the complications of the constipation itself. Herein, the evaluation of a patient with constipation through a surgical view is presented.
