Background: Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital intestinal motility disorder that causes functional intestinal obstruction due to the absence of enteric ganglion cells in the distal intestine. The management of each case of Hirschsprung's disease is surgery, where surgery on the digestive tract increases the occurrence of surgical site infections. Disturbances in the gut cause decreased resistance to infection, delayed cognitive development, and problems with nutritional status.
 Methods: This study was a descriptive and analytical observational study, where the primary data were taken from the registration data of Hirschprung's disease patients at RSPAL dr. Ramelan Surabaya in 2016-2020. The nutritional status of the patient was determined by plotting the weight per age curve according to WHO for children aged 0-5 years.
