Track: Pediatric and Neonatal Gastroenterology

Pediatric and Neonatal Gastroenterology

Pediatric and Neonatal Gastroenterology focuses on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic, and nutritional disorders affecting infants, children, and adolescents. This specialty addresses both congenital and acquired conditions of the digestive system, emphasizing early diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and long-term care to support healthy growth and development.


Key Subtopics:


Neonatal Gastrointestinal Disorders: Conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis, feeding intolerance, and congenital GI anomalies in newborns.


Pediatric Liver Diseases: Management of hepatitis, cholestasis, metabolic liver diseases, and liver failure in children.


Functional and Inflammatory GI Disorders: Including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).


Pediatric Nutrition and Malabsorption: Nutritional deficiencies, failure to thrive, celiac disease, and disorders of digestion and absorption.


Pancreatic and Biliary Disorders: Pediatric pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis–related GI issues, and biliary tract abnormalities.


Endoscopic and Diagnostic Advances: Modern diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques tailored for pediatric patients.


This session provides a platform to share knowledge, clinical experience, and research advancements in pediatric and neonatal gastroenterology. Researchers and clinicians are encouraged to submit their abstracts on the above-mentioned topics and contribute to advancing care and outcomes for children and neonates.
