Swenson surgery for Hirschsprung disease in children
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well the Swenson procedure works for children with Hirschsprung disease. It helps doctors understand the best surgical approach for this condition.

This study looks at bladder and sexual problems that may occur after surgery for Hirschsprung disease. By joining, you help doctors understand these issues better and improve care for others.
This study looks at long-term health and development outcomes in children who were diagnosed and treated for Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations. It uses both numbers and interviews to understand what happens over time after treatment, helping families and clinicians plan better care.
This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This study tests whether physiotherapy (special exercises) can help children who still have bowel problems after surgery for Hirschsprung's disease. The goal is to see if physiotherapy improves their quality of life and bowel function.
This study keeps a research record of people who have Hirschsprung disease and have had surgery. It helps doctors better understand long-term outcomes and care needs for future patients.
