Inpatient feeding and defecation disorders

This page has been automatically translated.

The UKBB offers interdisciplinary therapy concepts for children with feeding and defecation disorders. Close cooperation between different specialist areas enables individually tailored, holistic treatment.

Defecation disorders

In-patient treatment of functional defecation disorders at the UKBB is provided on an interdisciplinary basis in collaboration with the paediatrics department, Child psychiatry and Care as well as other disciplines, where applicable (Nutritional counselling, Speech therapy, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Music therapy).

All disciplines play a key role in the therapeutic process and are in constant dialogue with one another. The treatment usually lasts around three weeks.

Feeding disorders

Treatment is divided into an outpatient diagnostic phase and a treatment phase. Following the diagnostic phase, the family is triaged. In general, outpatient treatment should be prioritised over inpatient treatment. If outpatient treatment is not sufficient or not possible, inpatient treatment will take place on ward A of the UKBB. The duration of inpatient treatment for feeding disorders is at least 6 nights.
