Popis: Gastrointestinal system changes following spinal cord injury (SCI) are generally less obvious than other body system changes. These alterations in function and the response to management, however, may have profound implications on the social, emotional, and physical well-being of the individual with SCI. This article reviews changes in gastrointestinal function following SCI and discusses current issues related to the management of the neurogenic bowel.
