title: Megacolon: long-term results of surgical treatment.
abstract: The 10-year follow-up results for operations for Hirschsprung's disease from 24 pediatric surgical clinics are reviewed. Some of the bad results achieved are probably due mainly to operative technical errors. Many of the problems occured rather early during the follow-up period.
