Hirschsprung's Disease & Allied Disorders 2ed

Hirschsprung's disease continues to be an interesting problem in paediatric surgery. Progress has been made in the understanding of the functional anatomy of the enteric nervous system and of the molecular genetics of Hirschsprung's disease and new diagnostic methods and treatment techniques have also been introduced. This is the second edition of a comprehensive study of the neuronal disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract in children. It brings together the experience of many specialists working in the field and provides an account of Hirschsprung's disease and allied disorders. 'This is an excellent updating of the first edition. It is a great single reference text of current information on Hirschsprung's disease. It will stand as the definitive text for the next quarter century.' - Robert M. Arensman, Children's Memorial Hospital
