The Swenson procedure involves the removal of the entire affected site and end-to-end anastomosis of the normal colonic anal canal. In the Duhamel procedure, the normal colon is pulled out through the posterior rectal space and anastomosed with the non-angular rectum on the contralateral side.
Suction rectal biopsy (SRB) is the gold-standard for the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease (HD), but may not be applied before the first month of age.
There are two main types of Hirschsprung disease, known as short-segment disease and long-segment disease, which are defined by the region of the intestine lacking nerve cells. In short-segment disease, nerve cells are missing from only the last segment of the large intestine (colon).
Rectal biopsy: This test gives the definitive diagnosis. It involves taking a sample of the cells in the rectum for a pathologist to view under a microscope. The pathologist confirms that a child has Hirschsprung disease based on the absence of ganglion cells and other abnormal nerve-related findings.
