Hirschsprung Disease is a rare birth defect in babies where part of the large intestine is unable to remove waste materials properly, which can lead to intestinal blockage in the newborn. This 3D animation shows how doctors can correct Hirschsprung Disease in an infant by removing sections of the large intestine or colon. Before surgery, it is important to irrigate the intestine with water so the stool will not become blocked, causing painful gas bloating in the baby.
