| Video Discription | https://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/service/c/colorectal Hi, my name is Nelson Rosen, and I’m a Pediatric Colorectal Surgeon here at Cincinnati Children’s. Today we are going to talk about Hirschsprung Associated Enterocolitis. Hirschsprung’s Disease children are born with a condition in which the bottom part of the Large Intestine, also called the Colon, doesn’t have half of the nerves it needs to work normally. So what that piece of intestine is doing is squeezing all the time and all the intestine upstream is trying to push things through it and it just doesn’t work. One of the things that is a little known complication of Hirschsprung’s Disease that can occur before surgery or after surgery is called Enterocolitis. And Enterocolitis I want you to think of that like a G.I. bug where children can have bloating, pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fever. Enterocolitis is a condition that we treat with antibiotics by mouth most commonly an antibiotic called Metronidazole, or trade name Flagyl. And that antibiotic targets the particular bacteria that we see in the large intestine. The other primary treatment for Enterocolitis is what we call rectal irrigations. Where we teach parents how to wash out the bottom part of the intestine and get out the stool get out the gas but most importantly. To wash the bacteria from the lining of the intestine to make sure that the environment is clean and it allows the child to feel better. To not be as bloated and to get well to be able to drink, eat and go about their lives. If you think that your child might have Enterocolitis or is displaying any of these symptoms definitely check in with your doctor and make sure that everything is OK. We hope that this information was helpful to you. If you’d like more information about our center please call us at 513-636-3240. Or contact us by Email [email protected] or like us on Facebook |
