INTRODUCTION
Hirschsprung disease is an intestinal disorder
characterized by the absence of nerves in parts of
the intestine. This condition occurs when the nerves
in the intestine (enteric nerves) do not form
properly during development before birth
(embryonic development).
DEFINITION
Hirschsprung disease is a congenital
malformation of large intestine caused due to
congenital absence of ganglion cells in the
submucosal and myentric plexus of intestine.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
• The ability of the GI tract to respond to the state of the
lumen and gut wall by activating peristalsis, controlling
blood flow and secretions and thus maintain proper
physiological balance depends on the enteric nervous
system (ENS)
Enteric Nervous System (ENS)
Myenteric (Auerbach) Plexus
Submucosal (Meissner) Plexus
INCIDENCES
• 1/4th of all cases of neonatal Intestinal
obstruction.
• 1 in 5000 live births
• It is more common in males than female.
TYPES
AND
ETIOLOGY
CONGENITAL
• Ediopathic
• Interaction between 2 proteins encoded by
2 genes
RET Proto-
oncogene
( Chromosome
10)
EDNRB gene
( Chromosome
13)
ACQUIRED
Vascular causes
• after pull through procedure due to
ischemia & tension.
Non vascular causes
• Vitamin B1 deficiency, Chronic
infection( TB)
RISK FACTORS
Hereditary
Down
Syndrome
Congenital
Heart
Disease.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
CLINICAL
MANIFESTATIONS
Physical Examination
Abdominal Tenderness
Tight anal sphincter
Rectal Impaction
Enterocolitis
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Goal
• To treat the complications of unrecognized or
untreated Hirschsrung’s disease.
• To institute temporary measures until definitive
reconstructive surgery can takes place
• To manage bowel function after reconstructive
surgery

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Swenson Procedure (1948)
• The aganglionic segment is resected down to the sigmoid
colon and rectum, and an oblique anastomosis is
performed between the normal colon and the low
rectum.
Duhamel Procedure (1956)
• A rectoanal approach is used and a significant portion of
aganglionic rectum is retained.
• The aganglionic bowel is resected down to the rectum and the
rectum is over sewn.
• The proximal bowel is then brought through the retrorectal
space and an end to end side anastomosis is performed on the
remaining rectum.
Soave ( endorectal ) procedure
(1960)
• In this there will be removing of mucosa and sub mucosa of
the rectum ad pulling the ganglionic bowel through the
aganglionic muscular cuff of the rectum.
• It includes the primary anastomosis of anus.
ASSESSMENT
ASSESSMENT
GENERAL
• Feeding Habits
• Fussiness
• Irritability
• Distended abdomen
• Signs of under
nutrition
BOWEL HABIT
• Frequency
• Characteristics of
stool
• Onset of constipation
• Medical history
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Constipation related to decreased bowel motility.
• Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements
related to anorexia.
• Altered Bowel Elimination related to hypertrophy
and distention of the proximal colon
• Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement
related to intake less.
• Acute pain related to the surgical procedure.
• Deficient fluid volume related to postoperative
condition.
• Impaired oral and nasal mucous membranes related
to NPO status and irritation from NG tube.
• Deficient knowledge of caregivers related to
understanding of postoperative care of the
colostomy.
• Risk for impaired skin integrity related to irritation
from the colostomy.

• Assess the weight
• Provide low

• Increase fluid

• To increase the
digestibility
• To provide ease to

• To soften the stool
• To increase intake
• To met nutritional

COLOSTOMY CARE
 To maintain integrity of stoma and peristomal skin
 To prevent infection
 To promote general comfort
 To provide clean ostomy pouch for fecal evacuation
 To reduce odor from over used pouch
OBJECTIVES OF COLOSTOMY
CARE
COMPLICATIONS
• Post operative enterocolitis Swenson procedure
• Constipation Duhamel repair
• Diarrhea and incontinence with the Soave pull through
procedure
• Anastomosis leakage and stricture formation
• Intestinal obstruction
• Pelvic abscess
• Wound infection
Retrovesical
fistula
Persistent
aganglionosis
Motility
disorders
Mechanical
obstruction
Prolapse or
stricture
Stomal complications
PROGNOSIS
• As expected patients with associated trisomy 21 tend to
have poorer clinical outcome.
• In general more than 90% of patient with Hirschsprung
disease have satisfactory outcomes
• Although many patients many have disturbances of bowel
function for several years before developing normal
continence.
CONCLUSION
Hirschsprung disease is an congenital abnormality which is
constructive and non life threatening
