Amaç: Hirschsprung hastalıklı olgularda cerrahi tedavi ile genellikle iyi sonuçlar alınırken bir grup hastada barsak disfonksiyonunun devam ettiği gözlenir. Çocukluk çağı boyunca Hirschsprung hastalığı nedeni ile opere edilen olgularda klinik düzelmenin olduğu rapor edilmektedir. Bu klinik düzelmenin nedeni açık değildir. Çalışmamızda Hirschsprung hastalığı nedeni ile definitif ameliyatı yapılmış olan olgularda periyodik olarak yapılan anorektal manometri incelemesi ile yaşla beraber anorektal fonksiyonların değişiminin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Materyal Metod: Periyodik anorektal manometre değerlendirmesi yapılan, Hirschsprung hastalığı nedeni ile opere edilmiş olan 25 erkek, beş kız toplam 30 olgu değerlendirildi. Rektoanal inhibitör refleksi (RAİR) ile maksimum anal istirahat basınç (MAİB) ölçümleri değerlendirmeye alındı. Fonksiyonel seyir düzenlenen anketler ile belirlendiBulgular: Hastaların ilk değerlendirilmelerinde altı olguda enterokolit (%20), yedi olguda (%23) ise kabızlık yakınmalarının olduğu belirlendi. Anorektal inhibitör refleks tüm olgularda anormal olarak değerlendirildi. Ameliyat sonrası manometre ölçümlerinde maksimum anal istirahat basıncı değerlendirmeleri karşılaştırıldığında değişik yaş grupları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Klinik izlem esnasında barsak fonksiyonunun kendiliğinden düzelerek, disfonksiyonel yakınmaların %43' den %15' e gerilediği belirlendi.Tartışma ve Sonuç: Hirschsprung hastalığı nedeni ile opere edilen olguların çoğunda ameliyat sonrası dönemde barsak fonksiyonlarının bozuk olduğu görülmektedir. İzlem esnasında kabızlık ve enterokolit yakınmaları özellikle beş yaşından sonra gerilemektedir. Hirschsprung hastalığında tedavi sonrası anorektal bölgenin manometrik değerlendirmesinde belirgin bir değişiklik olmadan yaşla beraber klinik iyileşmenin olması barsak motilitesinin düzenlenmesi, karın kaslarının ve eksternal anal sfinkterin istemli olarak kullanılmasının öğrenilmesi gibi farklı mekanizmaların iyileşmede rol oynayabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
Aim: Surgery for Hirschsprung's disease (HD) generally results in a satisfactory outcome, but some patients continue to have persistent bowel dysfunction. During childhood, progressive clinical improvement in patients operated for HD has been reported. The reason of the functional improvement in these patients is not clear. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate anorectal function periodically after definitive surgery for Hirschsprung's disease by anorectal manometry and compare the clinical improvement with manometric results.Materials and Methods: We evaluated (25 males, 5 females) 30 patients who had been operated for Hirschsprung's disease and evaluated with periodical anorectal manometry. Anorectal inhibitory reflex and maximum anal resting pressure were monitored. Functional outcomes were determined by a questionnaire. Results: Postoperative enterocolitis was seen in six patients (20%) and constipation was reported as a side effect in seven (23%) of the children in the first postoperative evaluation. Anorectal inhibitory reflex was abnormal in all of the patients. The postoperative anal resting pressure was not statistically different among patients in different ages groups. We found a spontanous improvement in bowel function from 43% to 15% within the follow-up period.Conclusion: The results of our study show that the majority of the patients have impaired bowel functions. On follow-up symptoms of constipation and enterocolitis had decreased significantly after five years old age. The extent of improvement was simply related to age whereas all the other anorectal manometric values did not change. In spite of abnormal anorectal manometry colonic motility, voluntary straining of the abdominal muscle and relaxation of the external sphincter keep the patients at recovery

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
