Every day, doctors in the Moscow region save people from death and treat them for terrible diseases.
In the practice of specialists there are many cases, including rare ones.
Doctors performed surgery on a child with Hirschsprung's disease, a rare type of intestinal obstruction.
The details are provided by the Moscow Agency with reference to the press service of the Moscow Region Ministry of Health and the pediatric surgeon of the Moscow Regional Center for Children's Health, Igor Poddubny.
It is noted that the seven-year-old boy had constipation since birth. After examination, it became clear that he had a congenital disease.
It is also known that this pathology is associated with the absence of nerve nodes that are responsible for peristalsis.
According to the press service, the lack of treatment may result in the death of a person.
It was also noted that, thanks to the surgeons, the affected part of the intestine was removed, and the boy’s perineum was put in order.
It is noted that the surgeons removed the boy's affected part of the colon, lowered the healthy section and reconstructed the perineum.
The pediatric surgeon added that the boy was discharged on the tenth day after the operation.
