Introduction: Total colonic Hirschsprung's disease (TCHD) presents a postoperative challenge due to multiple stools and perineal rash. We propose a protocol developed by pediatric surgeons and ostomy nurses to help prevent and treat hypermotility and severe perineal rash, especially in younger children who are not toilet trained.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our TCHD patients' charts from 2014 to 2017.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates urinary outcomes in children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and Down's syndrome (DS), as previous research mostly focused on colorectal outcomes.
- Researchers reviewed medical records and used the Vancouver Symptom Score to evaluate urinary symptoms in 104 patients, including 16 with DS.
- Results show that children with HD and DS have significantly more urinary issues post-surgery compared to those without DS, highlighting the need for improved urinary care in this patient group.
