HIRSCHSPRUNG'S DISEASES AND ALLIED DISORDERS

There have been extensive advances in knowledge in the field of innervational disorders of the lower intestinal tract over the last 20 years. In particular, progress has been made in the understanding of the functional anatomy of the enteric nervous system and of the molecular genetics of Hirschsprung's disease. New diagnostic methods and treatment techniques have also been introduced.
This second edition of Holschneider's monograph is a uniquely comprehensive study of the neuronal disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract in children. 'This is an excellent updating of the first edition. It is a great single reference text of current information on Hirschsprung's disease. It will stand as the definitive text for the next quarter century.' - Robert M. Arensman, Children's Memorial Hospital
