Perioperative outcomes of neonatal versus delayed surgery for Hirschsprung disease: a nationwide retrospective cohort study in Japan
This nationwide cohort study found that although in-hospital morbidity was similar between definitive surgery for Hirschsprung disease performed in the neonatal and non-neonatal periods, neonatal surgery was associated with a shorter total length of hospitalization during infancy compared with delayed surgery. In terms of the short-term outcomes, neonatal surgery for Hirschsprung disease is safe, and delayed surgery may not be beneficial.
