[Hirschsprung disease. Results of surgical treatment].

The Authors report their experience in the treatment of 86 patients, in pediatric age, with Hirschsprung's disease: 40 with congenital rectosigmoid or subtotal megacolon, 8 with total colic or ileocolic aganglionosis and 38 with ultrashort aganglionic segment. Out of the patients 29% had necrotizing enterocolitis with 40% mortality rate in rectosigmoid or subtotal forms and with 75% mortality rate in total colic or ileocolic forms. In the last group the mortality was higher related also to difficulties and complications of surgical treatment.
