- Abstract:
- Objective To explore the application value of continuous defecation through indwelling anal canal in the conservative treatment period prior to surgery for Hirschsprung disease in infants. Methods This retrospective study included 80 infants with Hirschsprung disease treated at the Department of Neonatal Surgery,Jiangxi Children’s Hospital,from January 2019 to January 2023.Based on different methods of auxiliary defecation during the conservative treatment period,the infants were divided into a study group with long-term anal canal retention and a control group receiving enema and anal dilation.The study group was further divided into common type (Group A,n=21) and long segment type (Group C,n=11),while the control group was divided into common type (Group B,n=33) and long segment type (Group D,n=15).Compliance with tube placement was statistically analyzed.The four subgroups were paired for comparison (A&B/C&D) regarding gender,birth weight,age at first visit,age at definitive surgery,surgical method,incidence of small intestine-colonitis related to Hirschsprung disease,rate of colostomy,weight at definitive surgery,duration of surgery,length of resected bowel,maximum diameter of dilated segments in postoperative specimens,histological inflammation of bowel walls,postoperative complications,length of hospital stay,and hospitalization costs. Results There were no statistically significant differences among groups in age at first visit,birth weight,age at definitive surgery,gender,or surgical method (P>0.05).There were also no statistically significant differences in colostomy rates,weight at definitive surgery,duration of surgery,length of resected bowel,histological inflammation of bowel walls,postoperative complications,days in hospital,or hospitalization costs between Groups A and B (P>0.05).For Groups C and D,there were no statistically significant differences in weight at definitive surgery,duration of surgery,or length of resected bowel (P>0.05).In Group A,3 cases of small intestine-colonitis related to Hirschsprung disease occurred,compared to 14 in Group B; the average maximum diameter of dilated segments in Group A was (3.00±0.59) cm,and (3.77±0.64) cm in Group B.In Group C,2 cases of small intestine-colonitis occurred,while Group D had 9 cases; no colostomy cases occurred in Group C,compared to 6 in Group D; the maximum diameter in Group C was (3.09±0.49) cm,and (3.9±0.55) cm in Group D; Group C had 1 case of histological inflammation,while Group D had 8 cases; Group C experienced 2 postoperative complications,while Group D had 10; Group C had an average hospital stay of (32.73±6.37) days,while Group D had (53.60±15.78) days; the average hospitalization costs for Group C was (53 891.29±10 317.25) yuan,and (81 400.33±27 393.87) yuan for Group D; all differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Long-term placement of a rectal tube before definitive surgery can reudrce the incidence of small intestine-colonitis related to Hirschsprung disease in newborns and infants,prevent proximal bowel dilation and hypertrophy.In long segment types,it can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,decrease the rate of colostomy,alleviate suffering,promote surgical recovery,shorten hospital time,and reduce hospitalization costs.
