title: Self-expanding silicone stent for treatment of postoperative colorectal stricture in an infant with Hirschsprung's disease: a case report.
abstract: Benign colorectal strictures can be a complication of intestinal surgery, with limited options for endoscopic intervention. In this report, we describe a case where a removable silicone stent was temporarily placed to successfully treat a benign post operative stricture in an infant with Hirschsprung's disease.
