Idiopathic constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal problems in pediatrics, with a spectrum ranging from mild to severe. Although there’s no cure for idiopathic constipation, most patients do well with standard medical treatments like laxatives or changes in diet, with only 1% of severe cases requiring surgery. • In this video, Luis De la Torre, MD, provides an overview of bowel management at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which claims a success rate of over 95% for idiopathic constipation. Dr. De la Torre also describes the most reliable methods, such as abdominal X-rays, for assessing constipation severity and identifying initial treatment –– sometimes requiring enemas before starting on laxatives. As far as laxatives, Dr. De la Torre explains why senna is the superior option over polyethylene glycol. • For more information, visit https://www.childrenscolorado.org/col... • Connect with Children’s Colorado: • Instagram: / childrenscolo • Facebook: / childrenshospitalcolorado • Twitter: / childrensco_pro • LinkedIn: / children's-hospital-colorado • Website: http://www.childrenscolorado.org
