Abstrakt: Children with colorectal diseases often undergo operative management in their youth. As these patients become adult, it is important for surgeons to understand their postoperative anatomy as well as the pathophysiology of their diseases. Here, we present a description of common colorectal diseases of childhood that may have significant impact on patients' presentations as adult. We also discuss the diagnosis and management of conditions that are usually seen early in life but may present during adulthood as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
