Pediatric Gastroenterology Unit
Pediatric Gastroenterology Unit
The Pediatric Gastroenterology Unit at Sheba Medical Center offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for children and teenagers with diseases of the digestive system or liver. Inpatient and outpatient services are provided. The types of gastrointestinal conditions and symptoms that present in children can be dramatically different from those that occur in adults, and experienced specialists comprise the team of this specialized unit. Multidisciplinary experts, including surgeons, radiologists, and nutritionists collaborate with pediatric gastroenterologists to custom-design treatment programs for every patient. Our department is also actively involved in many clinical research trials in Israel and around the world.
