Quote from "The SAGES Manual of Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery" by Danielle S. Walsh, Todd A. Ponsky, Nicholas E. Bruns - "The diagnosis of HD must be confirmed by an experienced, reliable pathologist with a rectal biopsy. This technique is best suited for short-segment disease, and ideally the patient would have a barium enema study demonstrating a distal transition zone. Longer segment disease is a relative contraindication for this surgical option, and these patients may be better served by a Duhamel procedure l.

In small children, the linea alba tends to be broad and very thin and also should be avoided as an exit site. The stoma site on the stomach should be in the mid-body—away from the greater curvature, because the proximity to the transverse colon can lead to a gastrocolic fist…

This quote from "The SAGES Manual of Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery" by Danielle S. Walsh, Todd A. Ponsky, Nicholas E. Bruns - "Review of the KID data found a 1.67 odds ratio of small bowel resection with operative intervention delayed until hospital day 3–14, and no difference in small bowel resection between operating on day 1 versus day 2. It is recommended that stable patients without concerning signs of perforation, strangulation, or peritonitis can be safely managed conservatively for 48 h in children over 2 years and 24–48 h in children less than 2 years of age [18]. It is crucial that these patients are closely observed for signs of deterioration in either …
