This book on Hirschsprung's disease (HD) contains a complete update
on the various aspects of this disease. It is the collaboration of
an international group of paediatric surgeons well-known in their
fields who are experts in this pathology and of other prestigious
professionals -- neurobiologists, physiologists, geneticists,
paediatricians, and histopathologists. Over the course of 28
chapters, these authors describe the latest advances in the
diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The first part is an
update of the anorectal physiology, pathophysiology, genetics, and
histopathology. The second part deals with the clinical
manifestations and diagnosis in the new-born, with especial
reference to manometric diagnosis during the neonatal period and to
the morphological and radiological study. Other important chapters
are devoted to differential diagnosis, preoperative care,
indications for ostomy, and preparing the child for the
pull-through. The third part describes the various classical
surgical options (Swenson, Duhamel, Soave, Rehbein), and the new
methods using laparoscopy and transanal pull-through, which have
been the major breakthrough in the treatment of this condition.
Total colonic aganglionosis and the critical review of the
different surgical techniques occupy two magisterial chapters. The
fourth part comprises an extensive exposition of enterocolitis in
HD, the long-term results following surgery, other variants of HD,
and two novel chapters in treatises on this disease (intestinal
transplants and nutrition). In the Annex, parents of children with
this disease describe their experience. The book ends with a final
chapter devoted to informed consent. This book will be an
invaluable reference for paediatric surgeons and paediatricians and
gastroenterologists, and has a special interest for parents of
children with Hirschsprung's disease.
