Topic overview
Surgical treatment of Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) in Sweden was centralized to two tertiary pediatric surgery centers 1st of July 2018. Although complex surgical care in adults seems to benefit from centralization there is little evidence to support centralization of pediatric surgical care. The aim of this study was to assess centralization of HSCR in Sweden, with special consideration to preoperative management and outcomes in this group of patients.
