Background: Advancements in surgical management in a single-stage procedure made intraoperative frozen section biopsies critical for determining of level of resection to avoid the potential risk of leaving a retained aganglionic segment. However, in most low-income countries, due to the lack of this facility, the surgeon’s intraoperative judgment is used for the determination of the resection level. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of determining the level of bowel resection in short-segment Hirschsprung’s disease based on macroscopic changes. Materials and methods: Intraoperative macroscopic evaluations were assessed using postoperative microscopic findings to determine whether the surgeons’ intraoperative judgments were accurate in determining the level of bowel resection in 60 cases of operated short-segment Hirschsprung’s disease. In addition, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine whether the sensitivity and specificity of both methods were significantly correlated. Results: The microscopic results showed that the level of resection based on the macroscopic evaluation was performed in normally ganglionated segment in cases of short-segment Hirschsprung’s disease. Conclusions: Macroscopic intraoperative assessment by an experienced surgeon is highly accurate method of determining the level of bowel resection in short-segment HSCR. |
