This book on constipation in children contains a complete update of
this common problem in the world. It has been written by authors
from 9 countries, who are experts in this field. In most cases,
constipation is functional in origin, but one mustn't forget the
organic causes such as Hirschsprung's disease, endocrine-metabolic
disorders (Hypotiroidism, hypokalemia) or digestive diseases such
as celiac disease or cystic fibrosis. Over the course of 18
chapters, this book describes the epidemiology and genetics of
constipation, the anatomophysiology of defecation, aetiology,
physiopathology, anterior ectopic anus, clinical evaluation,
diagnostic testing of defecation disorders, colonic dysmotility,
differential diagnosis (functional vs. organic), and several
treatment options (medical and surgical). The book ends with
long-term results in children with chronic constipation, and with
the latest advances in future cellular therapies (Stem Cells) for
defecation disorders.
