    Notes: Abstract The authors present their experience with the histotopochemical alpha-naphthylesterase reaction for intraoperative evaluation of the length of the aganglionic segment in Hischsprung's disease (HD). The activity of nonspecific esterases (Davis and Ornstein technique [1]) was used to demonstrate the presence or absence of intramural ganglion cells in seromuscular intestinal biopsies taken at various levels in 50 patients with the preoperative diagnosis of HD; in 44 cases the biopsies were taken during a radical HD operation (endorectal pull-through, Soave technique). In the remaining 6 cases, which presented with intestinal obstruction, the biopsies were taken during laparotomy. The authors consider this histochemical technique a reliable, quick, simple, and economical method for intraoperative evaluation of the length of the aganglionic segment. It is also useful for confirming the diagnosis of HD and is of great help in the study of so-called pseudo-HD.

    CT of anorectal malformation — a postoperative evaluation (1989)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract In spite of the progress in the field of surgical treatment of anorectal malformations, faecal incontinence is, in variable degrees, still an unpleasant and frequent postoperative sequela. Postoperative CT demonstrate the location of the pulled-through intestine, including whether it had been correctly placed through the levator ani and in the spincteric muscular complex. In our nine patients we discovered a correlation between the CT findings and the clinical picture. The cases of incontinence whether associated with sacral anomalies or not were characterized either by marked hypoplasia of musculature or by the pull-through having missed the sphincteric musculature. CT scans could be of use in planning further surgery.
