The team includes the expertise of pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric surgeons, nutritionists, nurse specialists, pharmacists, dietitians and social workers that work together in the approach to these complex patients.
Patients that are referred to the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program are infants and children with intestinal failure who require intravenous nutrition (referred to as PN and Parenteral Nutrition) for treatment of a variety of digestive disorders, including short bowel syndrome, gastroschisis, intestinal atresias, motility disorders or other reasons for feeding intolerance.
The program also specializes in the long-term care of children with short bowel syndrome and various intestinal disorders that require enteral feeding supplementation through gastrostomy, nasogastric or jejunostomy tubes.
