Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hirschsprung's disease is a developmental disorder of the enteric nervous system characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the distal intestine, resulting in functional intestinal obstruction. The treatment applied after diagnosis is surgical. Although individuals with a history of surgery due to Hirschsprung's disease generally have normal bowel and urinary function, it has been reported that they have a higher prevalence of fecal incontinence and constipation and a lower quality of life related to the gastrointestinal system. However, there are few studies evaluating the use of physiotherapy in the management of postoperative bowel symptoms in children with Hirschsprung's disease.
