Insights
Transabdominal Soave procedure for Hirschsprung's disease in children can lead to complications like enterocolitis and constipation. Fecal incontinence is rare following this surgical approach.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital condition causing large bowel obstruction.
- Understanding its surgical outcomes is crucial for pediatric care.
Purpose of the Study:
- Evaluate complications and bowel function after transabdominal Soave procedure in children with Hirschsprung's disease.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective evaluation of 160 children who underwent transabdominal Soave procedure.
- Assessment of bowel function and complication rates.
Main Results:
- Enterocolitis and constipation occurred in 15% of patients.
- Fecal incontinence was observed in only 1% of cases.
Conclusions:
- Constipation and enterocolitis are the most frequent complications post-transabdominal Soave procedure.
- The procedure demonstrates a low rate of fecal incontinence.
Background:
Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder that causes functional obstruction of large bowel.
Aim:
To evaluate complication and bowel function score of children with Hirschsprung's disease who underwent transabdominal Soave's procedure.
Methods:
In this study all the children with Hirschsprung's disease who underwent transabdominal Soave procedure were evaluated regarding bowel function and complication of trans-abdominal Soave's procedure.
Results:
Were enrolled 160 children. Enterocolitis and constipation were seen in 15% of the cases. Fecal incontinency was the least frequent study which was seen in 1% of the children.
Conclusion:
Constipation and enterocolitis was the most frequent complication following transabdominal Soave technique.
