Hirschsprung’s disease is a congenital condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes difficulty passing stool. It is caused by a lack of nerve cells in the muscles of the colon, and as a result, the child is unable to have bowel movements, resulting in partial or total bowel obstruction.
Hartmann’s procedure, also called proctosigmoidectomy, is a surgical operation to remove the diseased portion of the colon, thereby improving the bowel movements and helping the child lead a normal life. It may be performed through laparoscopic or open surgical methods and may take about two to four hours.
With a good prognosis, Hartmann’s surgery is a quicker and generally safer alternative. However, complications such as wound infection, internal bleeding, hernias, or blood clots may occur, necessitating proper post-surgical care until the bowels are fully functional.
Baby Mayank Roy from West Bengal successfully underwent Sigmoid Colectomy with Hartmann’s Procedure at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Tokala Surender Reddy, Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist, Laparoscopic, Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon and Dr. Vikram Dantoori, Paediatric Surgeon.
