Abstract

The correlation between radiographic transition zone on contrast enema in Hirschsprung's disease and the total length of aganglionosis is known to be inaccurate. The aim of this study was to analyze this correlation more precisely to improve preoperative planning of the corrective surgery.

All available preoperative contrast enemas (n=61) had been single blindly reviewed by the same radiologist who defined the radiographic transition zone when present in vertebral level.
