| The CUB Team at Children's |
The Continence of Urine and Bowel (CUB) Program at Children's Hospital Boston is a unique multidisciplinary program designed to coordinate the care of children with urine and bowel incontinence resulting from congenital anomalies, such as anorectal, spinal, neuromuscular or urological malformations.
The CUB program takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating these complex issues, which often require a child to be under the care of many specialists at one time.
Through the CUB program, each patient is evaluated by a team of specialists from various departments, including Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Neurosurgery and Urology, all in one visit. Other departments, such as Behavioral Medicine, Radiology and Orthopedics, are frequently consulted as well. The specialists then meet collectively to assess, diagnose and evaluate the children, and implement a multi-faceted care plan that addresses each patient's needs, and ensures the highest level of care for every child. State of the art diagnostic testing and therapy is provided. The CUB Program has extensive experience in the treatment and follow up of children that have undergone appendicostomies.
