Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The most current treatment for Hirschsprung's disease is not a two-stage surgery using first a temporary colostomy to provide bowel rest and second a pull-through procedure. This procedure has been replaced by the laparoscopic-assisted pull-through.
B Incorrect. The most current treatment for Hirschsprung's disease is not a one-stage pull-through without a temporary colostomy. This surgical procedure has also been replaced by the laparoscopic-assisted pull-through.
C Correct. The most current treatment for Hirschsprung's disease is the laparoscopic-assisted pull-through procedure with anal entry, thus eliminating major abdominal surgery. This procedure requires only a few small incisions, has decreased the length of hospitalization, leaves minimal scarring, and reduced complications.
D Incorrect. The most current treatment for Hirschsprung's disease is not a laser surgery that is done on an outpatient basis and requires no incision at all.
