Abstract:
Chronic recurrent abdominal pain remains a common medical and surgical problem, frequently dismissed as functional. Instead, these patients should be approached systematically, based on the pattern of recurrent abdominal pain. It is vital to seek out the potential cause of this type of chronic pain because specific and often curative treatment is available.
