title: [Treatment with Soave's technic and long-term results in 270 cases of Hirschsprung disease].
abstract: The authors present the surgical technique for the correction of Hirschsprung disease following SOAVE's original description. A series of 270 cases observed in 20 years at the Pediatric Surgery Department of the "Instituto Giannina Gaslini" in Genova, Italy, are examined. These cases, all treated by surgery, were followed up in long term for more than one year both clinically and radiologically. Additionally 73 cases treated from 1977 on were also followed up with the aid of ano-rectal electro-manometry. The most recent diagnostic aspects are discussed, such as ano-manometry, and some conclusions are drawn about long term results.
