Evaluation of Post-neonatal Intensive Care Unit Home Irrigations Prior to Pull-through: Implications for Hirschsprung Disease Management

Abstract

Pull-through procedures for Hirschsprung disease (HD) can be performed during the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) stay or delayed until discharge following home irrigations. This study assesses the safety of a delayed pull-through as an alternative to neonatal reconstruction in infants with successful abdomen decompression with home irrigations based on Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) development.
