[АNORECTAL DYSFUNCTION, OCCURRING AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF HIRSCHPRUNG’S DISEASE AND ITS CORRECTION]
Insights
This study analyzes 12 children with Hirschsprung
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Hirschsprung's disease often requires surgical intervention.
- Postoperative complications like chronic constipation and anorectal dysfunction can occur.
- Various surgical techniques are employed for Hirschsprung's disease treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the causes and treatment of chronic constipation and anorectal dysfunction after Hirschsprung's disease surgery.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of different surgical approaches and their complications.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of clinical data from 12 children operated on for Hirschsprung's disease.
- Review of surgical procedures: Duhamel-Bairov, Soave-Lenyushkin, and Soave-Boley operations.
- Assessment of postoperative complications and treatment outcomes.
Main Results:
- Postoperative constipation after Duhamel-Bairov operation was linked to colorectal septum preservation; transanal septum removal is curative.
- Anastomotic narrowing after Soave-Boley operation resulted from lack of intraoperative myotomy and postoperative bougienage.
- Chronic constipation/encopresis after Soave-Lenyushkin operation stemmed from residual tissue excess; transanal excision of the stenosing ring is effective.
Conclusions:
- Colorectal septum preservation is a key cause of constipation after Duhamel-Bairov surgery.
- Transanal septum removal offers a radical solution for this complication.
- Addressing anastomotic narrowing and residual tissue excess through specific surgical revisions and conservative treatment can improve outcomes.
Abstract:
Results of examination and treatment of 12 children, operated on in various clinics for Hirschprung’s disease, in whom chronic constipation and other signs of anorectal dysfunction have occurred, were analyzed. In 8 patients Duhamel-Bairov operation was conducted, in 2 – Soave-Lenyushkin operation, and in 2 – Soave-Boley operation. The main cause of postoperative chronic constipation occurrence after Duhamel operation is the colorectal septum preservation. The only one radical method of treatment of this complication is a transanal removal of colorectal septum. The cause of anastomotic narrowing after Soave-Boley operation was absence of myotomy intraoperatively and of bougienage – after it. Elimination of chronic constipation in such patients, using long-standing bougienage and complex conservative treatment. The main cause of chronic constipation and nocturnal encopresis after Soave-Lenyushkin operation was preservation of the tissue excess while doing resection of a large bowel stump and creation of the narrowed ring, looking like a pendent plica. Complete reconvalescence of such patients is possible in transanal method of excision of stenosing ring and conduction of complex treatment.
