Early diagnosis of Hirschsprung
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Hirschsprung's disease affects the large intestine, causing difficulty passing stool.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes in pediatric patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of instrumental methods.
- To assess surgical treatment outcomes for Hirschsprung's disease in children under three years old.
Main Methods:
- The study included 56 pediatric patients diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease.
- Diagnostic tools comprised irrigography, anomanometry, histochemical, and neurohistological examinations.
- Surgical interventions included colostomy and downward colon transposition with primary anastomosis.
Main Results:
- Complex instrumental examinations facilitated early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention.
- Colostomy was identified as the preferred initial surgical approach for infants.
- Older children demonstrated superior outcomes with downward colon transposition and primary anastomosis.
Conclusions:
- Integrated diagnostic methods are vital for the early detection of Hirschsprung's disease.
- Surgical strategy should be tailored to patient age for optimal results in Hirschsprung's disease treatment.
Abstract:
The diagnostic value of instrumental methods of examination and the results of surgical treatment were studied in 56 patients under 3 years of age with Hirschsprung's disease. Complex examination (irrigography, anomanometry, histochemical and neurohistological studies) allows the disease to the diagnosed early and operative treatment to be undertaken in time. Colostomy is the operation of choice for infants. Operation for downward transposition of the colon with primary anastomosis produces better results in older children.
