Abstract
We registered with great interest, that the article “Proximal segment histology of resected bowel in Hirschsprung's disease predicts postoperative bowel function”, published by Schulten, Holschneider and Meier-Ruge ([2]) confirmed the results of our multicenter study with the similar topic “Hirschsprung's disease and intestinal neuronal dysplasia - a frequent association with implications for the postoperative course” ([1]). The quotas for aganglionosis (4 % vs. 10 %) and neuronal dysplasia (27.7 % vs. 32 %) at the proximal segment were very similar. Hypoganglionosis was seldom seen in the prospective study (2 %) compared with the retrospective evaluation going back to 1979 (25.7 %). Probably the transitional hypoganglionic segment is meanwhile consequently resected.
