*In this video, Dr. Anand Sinha, Director of Pediatric Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon, explains Hirschsprung Disease (HD)**, a congenital condition that causes **chronic constipation* in children. Dr. Sinha covers the **causes, symptoms, diagnosis**, and **surgical treatment options**, including **pull-through procedures**, and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis. Post-surgical recovery, potential complications like **enterocolitis**, and management strategies are also discussed to guide parents through this condition.
*Key Topics Covered:*
1. *What is Hirschsprung Disease?* – A condition where missing nerve cells (ganglion cells) in the intestine cause difficulty passing stool.
2. *Diagnosis* – Tests like *barium enema**, **anorectal manometry**, and **rectal biopsy* help diagnose Hirschsprung Disease.
3. *Surgical Treatment* – **Pull-through surgeries**, done via **laparoscopy**, **robotic**, or open surgery, explained.
4. *Post-Operative Care* – Managing recovery and handling complications like **enterocolitis**.
5. *Importance of Early Diagnosis* – Early treatment prevents complications and ensures better long-term outcomes.

*FAQs:*
1. *What is Hirschsprung Disease?*
A congenital condition where ganglion cells are absent in parts of the large intestine, causing difficulty passing stool.
2. *How is Hirschsprung Disease diagnosed?*
It’s diagnosed through tests like *barium enema**, **rectal biopsy**, and **anorectal manometry* to detect missing ganglion cells.
3. *What are the treatment options?*
The main treatment is a **pull-through procedure**, which can be performed via laparoscopy, robotic surgery, or open surgery.
4. *Can Hirschsprung Disease be cured?*
Yes, with timely surgery, most children fully recover and live normal lives.
5. *What happens if treatment is delayed?*
Delaying treatment can lead to complications like **enterocolitis**, a life-threatening intestinal infection.
6. *How long is recovery after surgery?*
