Hirschsprung's disease is a condition present from birth where the nerve cells in the colon are missing, preventing normal bowel movements. It occurs in 1 in 5,000 newborns and is more common in boys. Diagnosis involves tests like x-rays, enemas, and biopsies. Treatment is a two-step surgery to remove the affected portion of the colon and reattach the healthy ends. Complications can include infections if waste builds up before surgery.
