Hirschsprung’s Disease Treatment in India
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is Hirschsprung’s Disease?
Hirschsprung’s Disease is a congenital condition (present at birth) in which nerve cells (ganglion cells) are missing in parts of the intestine. This absence prevents normal movement of stool through the bowel, causing severe constipation or intestinal blockage.
It is most commonly diagnosed in newborns but can sometimes be identified later in infancy or childhood.
Why is Hirschsprung’s Disease Treatment Done?
Treatment is necessary to:
- Remove the diseased portion of the intestine
- Restore normal bowel movements
- Prevent life-threatening complications like intestinal obstruction or infection (enterocolitis)
- Improve the child’s growth and overall quality of life
Without treatment, the condition can lead to severe complications and poor health outcomes.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Hirschsprung’s Disease Treatment in India?
Candidates for treatment include:
- Newborns who fail to pass stool within the first 48 hours after birth
- Infants with chronic constipation, abdominal swelling, or vomiting
- Children with poor weight gain and delayed growth
- Patients diagnosed through biopsy or imaging confirming absence of nerve cells
Eligibility is determined based on diagnosis, severity, and the child’s overall health.
Types of Hirschsprung’s Disease Surgery
Treatment is primarily surgical and may include:
1. Pull-Through Procedure
The most common surgery where the diseased segment of the colon is removed and the healthy part is connected to the anus.
2. Swenson Procedure
Removal of the affected colon with direct reconnection.
3. Soave Procedure
The inner lining of the diseased colon is removed, preserving the outer muscle layer.
4. Duhamel Procedure
A portion of healthy colon is attached to the rectum, bypassing the diseased section.
5. Colostomy or Ileostomy (Temporary)
In severe cases, a temporary stoma is created before definitive surgery.
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques are increasingly used for faster recovery and reduced complications.
Diagnostic Tests Done Before Hirschsprung’s Disease Treatment
To confirm diagnosis and plan treatment, doctors may recommend:
- Physical examination
- Abdominal X-rays
- Contrast enema study
- Rectal biopsy (gold standard test)
- Anorectal manometry
- Blood tests to check for infection or complications
