Pediatric GI Surgery Liaison

A co-management curriculum for the pediatric gastroenterologist working alongside pediatric surgery — covering Hirschsprung disease, anorectal malformations, malrotation/volvulus, necrotizing enterocolitis, short bowel syndrome, biliary atresia/Kasai portoenterostomy, IBD surgery, and the long-term GI sequelae of gastroschisis, omphalocele, and esophageal atresia repair, with emphasis on the referral pathway rather than surgical technique.

Learning Objectives

Describe the gastroenterologist's role in diagnosing Hirschsprung disease and recognize Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis as a surgical emergency

Outline the classification of anorectal malformations and the gastroenterologist's role in post-repair bowel management programs

Recognize intestinal malrotation with volvulus and necrotizing enterocolitis as time-critical conditions requiring urgent surgical referral

Describe the gastroenterologist's role in intestinal rehabilitation alongside surgical bowel-lengthening procedures in short bowel syndrome

Manage the pre- and post-Kasai portoenterostomy medical pathway, including cholangitis prophylaxis and timing of transplant referral

Apply indications for surgery in pediatric Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis and coordinate perioperative medical optimization
