Abstract:
Forty six enterostomies performed among one hundred and thirty one patients with Hirschsprung's diseases are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the different types of intestinal diversions are considered. We conclude that the best option is to make a terminal enterostomy just proximal to the aganglionic gut.
