Each of the basic operative methods for Hirschsprung's disease (the rectosigmoidectomy developed by Swenson, the retrorectal transanal approach developed by Duhamel, and the endorectal procedure developed by Soave and modified by Denda and Boley) can give good results. A protective colostomy should be routine. If only an occasional case is prevented from progressing to incontinence or septicemi...

Hirschsprung's disease, also known as congenital aganglionic megacolon, is a congenital disorder which develops due to an absence of neural ganglia in a segment of large bowel. Most commonly, the rectum or rectosigmoid, and rarely other areas or the entire colon are involved. In this disease, all three neural plexi, i.e., the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus, the superficial submucosal (Meiss...

Introduction Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, is known to complicate classic pulmonary embolism (Robin, Cross and Zelis, 1973). It has been well documented in animal experiments (Singer et al., 1957; Swenson, Lamas and Ring, 1965; Parmley, North and Ott, 1962) but is rare in man (Meth et al., 1975). A number of mechanisms have been proposed includ...
