Colorectal and pelvic disorders can affect your child at different stages of life, from infancy to puberty and beyond.

The clinicians in the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Disorders Center specialize in caring for infants, children and adolescents with complex colorectal and pelvic conditions, including anorectal malformations, cloacal deformities, Hirschsprung’s disease, chronic constipation, motility and more.

Whether your child has been newly diagnosed with such an anomaly at birth or requires revision of a previous surgery or management of a chronic issue, our skilled clinicians will provide expert, compassionate care.

Our Approach to Colorectal and Pelvic Malformations

At the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Disorders Center, we take a team approach, combining renowned specialists from surgery, gastroenterology, urology, gynecology and other disciplines such as pelvic floor physical therapy to address all aspects of your child’s care. We also partner with the hospital’s Motility and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Center, when appropriate. The result is a comprehensive and patient-centered treatment plan that works for your child’s unique situation.

Because your child’s needs may change over time, we offer state-of-the-art evaluation and treatment options, as well as care for developmental and ongoing needs. Your child will have access to treatment with minimally invasive and robotic procedures not typically offered elsewhere, in addition to outpatient medical care such as our bowel management program.
