The focus of the Center is on the multidisciplinary care and long-term management of children born with anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung disease as well as children with severe, medically refractive functional constipation (severe motility disorders). Recently, the center has been expanded to include surgical care for children with inflammatory bowel disease. He is a Co-Founder of the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium (PCPLC). https://pcplc.org/ The PCPLC was organized in 2016 as an international consortium of surgeons, scientists, and other specialists in order to facilitate research on anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung disease, and other colorectal and pelvic disorders. The PCPLC includes clinical centers and a central data coordinating center (University of Utah Data Coordinating Center). The PCPLC maintains a detailed registry of patients and provides the infrastructure for conducting focused studies which will help direct future treatments.
