His main interest is in the areas of mechanisms of defecation and fecal continence, constipation, non-acid reflux , functional bowel disorders, pseudobstruction, postoperative problems after GI surgery and Hirschsprung's disease. He is actively involved in a number of clinical trials and outcomes research studies.
The main goals of Dr. Nurko's research are to:
-Determine the mechanisms for fecal continence in children
-Determine the role that non-acid reflux plays in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease
-Find better treatments for children with motility disorders
