The 65th Falk Symposium held in Basel was dedicated to inflammatory bowel diseases of children. The emphasis of this book is on the immunological aspect of IBD as well as the current strategies of treatment. There is an additional focus on two other related childhood diseases: Morbus Hirschsprung and neuronal-intestinal dysplasia, both of which are diseases that concern the paediatric surgeon as well as the clinician.
This, the II In ternational Falk Symposium on Paediatric and Surgical Gastroenterology, brought together scientists, clinicians and surgeons from around the world to give a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary overview of the topics.
