In brief
Critical review examining the disconnect between pediatric surgeons and other specialties in managing functional constipation in children. The article questions whether surgical intervention has a role when evidence from pediatricians, adult colorectal surgeons, and physiologists is not being adequately integrated into pediatric surgical practice.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
