Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital condition characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the intestines, leading to bowel obstruction. The lack of ganglion cells disrupts the normal motility of the intestines, causing a functional obstruction. This can lead to enterocolitis, an inflammation of the intestines, which is a serious complication in infants with Hirschsprung's disease.

Article Synopsis
- There is evidence suggesting that using stents or decompressing stomas before surgery for left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC) is safer than emergency surgery, particularly for patients aged 70 and older.
- A study analyzing data from 2012 to 2020 showed a decrease in emergency resections, from 79.7% to 54.7%, with an increase in safer approaches like resection after stent or stoma.
- Despite a national trend towards safer surgical methods, some hospitals still performed over 75% emergency resections, leading to higher mortality rates, emphasizing the need to follow updated guidelines for elderly patients.
Background: In April 2024, our hospital confirmed a rare case of intra-abdominal infection by Kodamaea ohmeri. The patient sought medical attention at our hospital after taking painkillers orally for one month, experiencing recurrent abdominal pain for 17 days and worsening for 7 days. In March 2024, the patient received symptomatic treatment with oral analgesics (diclofenac sodium) for arthritis.
