Tolerance of Oral Opioid Medication After Surgery for Ruptured Appendicitis in Pediatric Patients: A Pilot Study

Achieving Social Bowel Continence in Children With Hypermotility After Repair of Anorectal Malformations and Hirschsprung
We present three case studies illustrating various clinical presentations of incontinence with loose stools, along with dietary and pharmacologic management strategies and a treatment algorithm. Children who soil with loose stools can achieve social continence using a combination approach using toileting supports, diet manipulation, fiber supplementation, medications, and small-volume enemas.

Its use may result in fewer unplanned clinic or emergency room (ER) visits as well as improve patient satisfaction.
