Mount Sinai Complex Pediatric Colorectal Program

Managing a complex colorectal condition requires not only treatment but a team that works in sync. At Mount Sinai, our specialists guide your family every step of the way by offering the unique advantage of same-day subspecialty consultations where you will meet the entire team in a single visit and come up with one cohesive plan tailored for your child. This integrated model combines advanced medical expertise with the convenience and support families need to achieve the best possible results.

Conditions We Treat

Our program provides expert care for a wide range of conditions, from congenital anomalies to acquired disorders. Here are a few of the conditions we treat:

  • Anorectal malformations, including imperforate anus and fistulas
  • Hirschsprung’s disease (aganglionosis)
  • Chronic constipation and fecal incontinence

Why Choose Us

Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, helping reduce pain and speed recovery. We offer access to NICU and PICU for the most complex cases, and our family-centered approach ensures that you and your child receive coordinated care from start to finish.

Meet Our Multidisciplinary Team

Your child’s care is never handled by one specialist alone. At Mount Sinai, we bring together a team of experts across multiple pediatric specialties to provide seamless, comprehensive care in one visit:

This collaboration ensures that every aspect of your child’s condition is addressed with precision and compassion. Our team also includes radiologists, anesthesiologists, nutritionists, behavioral health specialists, and child life experts, because comprehensive care means caring for the whole child.

What to Expect

  1. Initial Clinic Visit: You and your child will meet the multidisciplinary team, review medical history, and begin evaluation.
  2. Diagnostic Workup: We use advanced imaging, anorectal manometry, contrast studies, and lab tests to understand your child’s needs.
  3. Individualized Care Plan: Every child receives a tailored plan that may include medical therapy, surgery, bowel management, and nutrition guidance.
  4. Treatment and Follow-Up: If surgery is needed, we use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. We also try our best to combine surgeries to minimize the number of times your child needs to undergo anesthesia. After treatment, we provide ongoing support through bowel and pelvic floor programs to help your child thrive.
