Summary
This study looked at 20 children with Hirschsprung disease, a condition where part of the bowel lacks nerve cells, causing severe constipation. Researchers compared two surgical methods—Swenson and Soave—to see which one had shorter operation time and better daily bowel movements. The goal was to find the safer and more effective approach for these young patients.
