Anorectal malformation
Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are birth defects affecting the anus and rectum, hindering bowel movements. They range from mild (narrow anus) to complex (imperforate anus, fistulas). Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for normal bowel function and continence.

Choledochal cyst & Biliary atresia
Choledochal cyst and biliary atresia are both congenital conditions that affect the bile ducts, the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. Choledochal cyst is a dilation of the bile ducts, while biliary atresia is a blockage of the bile ducts. Both conditions can cause jaundice, dark urine, and acholic stools (stools that are pale or white). Choledochal cyst is usually diagnosed in children, while biliary atresia is usually diagnosed in infants. Treatment for both conditions typically involves surgery.

Pediatric Constipation
Pediatric constipation is a common problem, affecting up to 1 in 5 children. Symptoms include hard, dry stools, infrequent bowel movements, and abdominal pain. Causes include low fiber intake, withholding stool, and changes in diet or routine. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber and fluid intake, regular exercise, and establishing a bowel routine. For severe constipation, medication or other interventions may be necessary. Consult a healthcare provider if your child's constipation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common condition in infants characterized by a thickening of the pylorus muscle, the valve between the stomach and small intestine. This thickening blocks food from entering the small intestine, causing forceful vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss. Symptoms typically appear within 3-5 weeks of birth and are treated with surgery to divide the thickened muscle.

Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction
Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is a narrowing or blockage of the junction between the kidney and the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. This can cause urine to back up into the kidney, leading to swelling and damage. PUJO can be present at birth (congenital) or can develop later in life (acquired).
