    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Context:

    • Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a congenital disorder affecting the large intestine.
    • The study analyzes 283 cases treated at Hôpital des Enfants-Malades, Paris.
    • Focuses on neonatal and post-natal presentations.

    Purpose:

    • To describe current features, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic strategies for Hirschsprung's disease.
    • To establish a prognosis and treatment protocol based on rectal wall elasticity and colonic distension.
    • To detail the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of enterocolitis, a major complication.

    Summary:

    • Diagnostic approaches emphasize manometric and histochemical techniques over radiology.
    • Treatment protocols are guided by rectal elasticity and colonic distension.
    • Enterocolitis pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment are discussed.
    • 100 patients underwent surgery with 5-25 year follow-up.

    Impact:

    • 85% of surgically treated patients achieved excellent or good long-term results.
    • Provides insights into effective management strategies for Hirschsprung's disease.
    • Contributes to understanding and managing HSCR complications like enterocolitis.
