Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric bowel diseases include a broad spectrum of inborn and acquired disorders with a high impact on quality of life.
Treatment guidelines for pediatric bowel diseases are often missing from care practice due to limited evidence. This Special Issue will give the reader an update on pediatric bowel disorders with a particular focus on surgical and non-surgical treatment options, as well as the transition period from childhood to adulthood. The need to develop an interdisciplinary therapy approach for children with fecal elimination disorders is indisputable. We invite you to submit your manuscripts on the topic of intestinal diseases in children from a wide range of specializations.
Clinical, basic science, and translational studies related to pediatric bowel diseases are all welcome.
Requested paper types: Studies addressing pathophysiology, epidemiology, and/or treatment (including the confirmation or refutation of conventional therapies, novel treatments, and treatment guidelines) are highly appreciated.
Prof. Dr. Stefan Holland-Cunz
Guest Editor
