Hirschsprung disease is characterized by the lack of migration of intrinsic parasympathetic ganglia from neural crest and consequently absence of them at varying length of the bowel, resulting in functional obstruction. The incidence is 1 per 5000 births. After surgery, short term and long term comorbidity commonly occurs. The aim of this article is to revise the main causes of ongoing symptoms after surgery in Hirschsprung disease patients and to show a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm that can be developed in our community.
