[Postoperative rehabilitation of children with Hirschsprung disease].

Under study were remote results in 174 patients with Hirschsprung's disease operated upon by the method of Soave-Lyonyushkin. Among functional disturbances the patients had considerably decreased pressure in the anal canal, change of threshold parameters of the recto-anal reflex showing disturbed neuro-reflectory connections of the newly-formed rectum with the sphincter system. The restorative period after operation was considerably shorter due to purposeful curative-prophylactic measures which are necessary to be started from the very early postoperative period. The developed scheme of rehabilitation of patients after surgical treatment of Hirschsprung's disease is fairly effective which is demonstrated by high level (96.5%) of good and excellent long-term results.
