In brief
This multi-center study examines whether delayed diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease affects surgical and functional outcomes following pull-through procedures. The research addresses a critical knowledge gap in managing patients who present beyond the typical neonatal period, informing optimal timing and approach for surgical intervention.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Hirschsprung Disease (HD) is a rare cause of functional bowel obstruction in children. Patients are typically diagnosed in the neonatal period and undergo pull-through (PT) soon after diagnosis. The optimal management and post-operative outcomes of children who present in a delayed fashion are unknown.
